Star A Peek at PhOS: BeOS-Dan0's Unapproved Brother

BeOS & Derivatives I am one of those remaining BeOS addicts. I love the BeOS' responsiveness, its short boot-up/shutdown times and its, well, overall feel. But no one can deny the fact: BeOS 5.0.x PE is getting old. Very old, with a kernel build-time of around May 2000.

I recall a conversation on here a long time ago about porting big OSS projects to Beos.. the problem is that Openoffice still includes much of the code for StarOffice 5.2, which is kludgy to say the least and poorly suited to porting to a new platform.

BeOS isnt sufficiently unix-like for it to be an easy port.
