I find that I can have a lot more going on in BeOS before it starts to become awkward to find a specific window/task. I’m an obsessive multi-tasker and I’ve found that, with most OSes, the interface for switching tasks starts to become unweildy once I have about a dozen programs / documents open simultaneously. I’d go nuts if I had to use something other than BeMail / mail_daemon again, mostly because I depend so heavily on queries these days (E.g., an always open query for files of type text/email where the status attribute contains “New”, and a handful of query templates I’ve setup so I can quickly search mail by sender, recipient, subject, date, etc). I mostly do hosting setup and support, so the majority of my day is spent writing, reading, and replying to EMail. I still use it as my primary OS at home/work (I mostly work from home). You could also consider a killer feature the ability to bring new life to the older machines.īottom line, there’s still a place for zeta. When you have 150 GB of mp3, pictures, a few pdfs and documents, it matters. Real time SQL queries, supported by the file system itself, not by the means of some Indexing Service/SQL Service/Deamon mumbo jumbo. What’s the killer app/feature in Zeta/BeOS? FILEZILLA DOWNLOAD FOR VISTA WINDOWSAnd after all the dropped features, theres is little more to Vista than a Windows XP with a couple of new apps. Yes, so is Windows XP compared to Windows 2000. ![]() Welcome in 2006 and Zeta is nothing more than the old BeOS with better hardware support and a couple of new apps. Well, you can play games, edit and print documents, surf the web, chat using IRC or IM, watch dvd’s, DivX, XviD… listen to you favorite tunes… the os boots in less than 10 seconds in a PII 300 and is still, after all this years, what every other OS have to measure up to in terms off speed/responsiveness. FILEZILLA DOWNLOAD FOR VISTA FULLWho still use BeOS? As a full time OS? Why? BeOS won’t be for everybody (ie: those who really love their OS are unlikely to switch to BeOS & those that feel So-So about their current OS are likely to try it out – maybe they switch, or maybe they don’t). If you are happy with your favorite OS, then stick with it. If these can be done in an easy & fun way then this user will be happy. Most people web browse, email, listen to mp3s, watch divx movies and use Office suite. Sure, there are users out there that love Linux or Windows or ? And no one is saying you have to use or like BeOS, but there will be users that enjoy using BeOS based OSes beyond any other (for a reason).Īlso, BeOS was made for multimedia & with speed on its side, with multithreading (better utilization of processors – wait till you see what it can do with Quad cores), better memory use – because it isn’t bloated (like some other OSes), was originally developed for Pentium processors (not like Linux with most distros trying to support 386s still & Windows), it is all integrated (ie: not like Linux where Xwindows is made by one organization, Linux kernel by another, etc.), it was very well designed (& inspired certain concepts in other small, new OSes).Īlso, Joe Average doesn’t use killer applications. It isn’t about killer applications, it is about making an OS you enjoy to use. What is the killer app? Well, this is the same for all OSes and the answer is (not in any order): #1 3D Games, #2 3D Design, #3 Video (or Audio) conversions, #4 Compiling/Linking #5 Data Encryption, etc. I’m certain that, anyone who tries it out for 3 to 6 months would also find it to be good & get addicted to using it. And can say, that when Haiku is finished, that BeOS will start to get noticed & take off. The issue is that some people believe that with 3 major OSes already (ie: Windows, Linux/BSD, & OS X) that why bother with another OS? And that BeOS had its day back in 2000 & won’t gain popularity. FILEZILLA DOWNLOAD FOR VISTA INSTALLThey will be able to make just as much use of the computer as yourself, but they are not allowed to change the system, so they may only install apps in their home directories.Īctually, this is pretty much how a well set up unix system works, where you have to go via a user of group wheel to gain root privileges.Įdit: gah, this was supposed to be a reply to Thom. When giving other people access to your system, you probably want to make them non-admins. You decide whether to use Baron or create another account for yourself. Normally, you would be the admin on your own computer. – On installation, a default admin user, Baron, is created. – Not even administrators are allowed to change system files directly. ![]() These are the only users that are allowed to run processes with System privileges, after giving a password. A good name would be System, by the way, because it’s the owner of all system files. Here’s what I would suggest if I had any saying in these matters: ![]() As the owner of the house, you needed a proper title, right? ![]()
