Haiku has its first distribution, but it's not coming from the Haiku development team. Pingwinek has just released GNU/Haiku 0.1.0, what is claimed to be (probably?) the first distribution of the Haiku operating system, coming from Poland. According to the Pingwinek home page, GNU/Haiku consists of the base Haiku system plus 40 packages ported from the Pingwinek GNU/Linux distribution, and it includes the GCC 2.95.3 compiler, several simple games, SDL, Midnight Commander, and ncurses. GNU/Haiku can be run from a HDD, in QEMU and VMWare or as a Live CD. Screenshots are available, and the images can be download from this page.

Yeah, sure - that's the reason why Linux is being used in mission critical environments, as embedded system, as real time system etc. p.p. Wake up, kiddie 
Who cares? Linux does stuff. Windows does stuff. Big deal. That's their space. There's is no point in Haiku getting sucked in or rolled over by that. The core people seem content with saving a proper market rollout until it's finished. Good. It sure beats broken crap, elitism, and squabbling.
