"The Free Software community is well known for its diversity. This is most obvious at the application level, but even exists in the context of operating systems. David Chisnall takes a break from UNIX-derivatives and explores some of the more esoteric options." Note: From experience, I can say that the author's claim that "Haiku is more or less ready for their 1.0 release in terms of features" is a bit overambitious.

I don't like this "David Chisnall" very much.. lol!
What's funny is BeOS itself has "decent" POSIX/SUS compliance, Allowing *nix applications to be ported without "much" trouble..
Unfortunately, Haiku still uses an early GCC 2x release to avoid breaking compatibility with BeOS R5, I hear by R2 they will finally go to GCC 4x.. So all is well and good
