Zeta I've always been a huge fan of BeOS. However, there was no denying the fact that the BeOS was getting old. As many other BeOS fans, I closely followed two projects: Haiku, and yellowTAB's Zeta. The latter released 1.0 a few weeks ago. Here are the findings of an old BeOS user.

I'm very impressed with how this operating system is coming along. I'm one of those Windows users looking for something new. I've used various forms of linux, and will keep linux as a server OS, but am looking for something a bit new to use with my personal laptop. Anyone know how well this does with laptop support?

Notebook support _might_ be a problem. Zeta needs a 100 x86 System. A lot of notebook suppliers use to ignore standards of all kind. ^^ Well, for Windows it's OK. They just add their own drivers for their hardware. The best way to find a suiteble notebook is going to the shop with the Zeta-CD and asking if you may install it! The other way round, going to the shop with a Notebook and asking if you may install one of their copies of Zeta on it, could be difficult.
