Donations will not be accepted, please donate to Haiku." The name is not final yet, so feel free to add your own proposals.

Or, how about: --> VeOS <-- ;)

Wouldn't that be pronounced BeOS in Spanish speaking countries? ;-)


So if it was released as a Spanish distro it would be the return of BeOS! :-) yayyy! Probably not legal is it?

No, I'm pretty confident I'd have to object to "VeOS".

We are obliged to defend trademarks, and I'm afraid "BeOS" is currently one of 'em.

I like the name VeOS, but you are right. It is also why I rejected MaxOS (MacOS...)
