No, BeOS is not dead as many will speed to the forums and proclaim.
YellowTAB's Zeta is the true inheritor of BeOS 5's fortune, as it is based directly on Dano/EXP's codeline (which was supposed to be BeOS 6 but was never finished as Be sold its IP to Palm). At last, I got my hands on Zeta Beta-5a, and here is what I found and think of it so far. You might need to have some experience with BeOS in order to follow this article, but screenshots are included to make it easier for everyone.
Eugenia, your comment :
"Zeta uses a modified OpenTracker and Deskbar version which supports [...] a few other goodies like cut/copy/paste directly when selecting some files/folders "
Misses the fact that Open Tracker has had this for ages. I rebuilt my ppc box in January (maybe earlier) with the latest Open Tracker CVS tarball and it had this feature.
