BeOS & Derivatives Two interesting bits of news from the Haiku front. First, Haiku now has basic support for FireWire, thanks to GSOC student JiSheng Zhang. You cannot connect a FireWire hard drive just yet, though. Second, Russian BeOS hacker Troeglazov Gerasim has ported Samba 3.10 to Haiku, so you can now browse your Windows shares in Haiku, as well as share files through Samba in Haiku. IsComputerOn has the details, as well as some screenshots.

All good news obviously, however as far I'm concerned. If FW is in place, it's great, that means wider support for a lot of devices and USB has overtaken the standard so one could say that with this, FW is a completed step that doesn't really has to be looked back at.

Very good job all though and a special thank you to the one bringing the actual "report" about it.
