BeOS-like distro focused on content creation
,----[ Quote ]
| A new Ubuntu-based Linux distribution has arrived, aimed at both Linux
| newbies and content creators. Boasting "out of the box" multimedia codecs,
| the freely downloadable PC/OS incorporates the lightweight XFCE desktop, and
| is said to offer a similar layout to the groundbreaking, but ultimately
| doomed BeOS.

PC/OS - the BeOS of the Linux world
,----[ Quote ]
| PC/OS is a recent new entry into the Linux distribution world. Based on
| Ubuntu, it uses Xfce as its default desktop and offers a variety of
| user-friendly enhancements, such as out-of-the-box support for popular
| multimedia codecs. It also includes a collection of software development
| tools. Although PC/OS has yet to be added to the DistroWatch.com's
| distribution database, we offer this reader-contributed review for the
| benefit of those visitors who enjoy evaluating emerging distributions.
|
| [...]
|
| PC/OS has become my distribution of choice. Not only for its nostalgic
| journey to the BeOS era, but because, as it advertises, everything worked out
| of box. I have installed it on four systems, two laptops and two desktop
| systems, and it works great. If you are a new Linux user, I highly recommend
| it. If you are a seasoned Linux user, give it a try. If you are a refugee
| from BeOS, it's definitely worth a look. PC/OS has a bright future. If it
| makes it past a year we may see it as a DistroWatch #1 pick. The developer is
| a nice guy, very technical and very eager to help if you have problems, and
| he understands the desktop user's needs. My experiences with PC/OS have been
| very positive and, as always, I encourage you to participate not only in this
| distribution but in Linux and open source in general. Overall, PC/OS is the
| best $1.00 I have ever spent.

Zebuntu Debuts
,----[ Quote ]
| "Our goal is to use BlueEyedOS to offer a new platform for our former Zeta
| customers. In the future, Zeta, BeOS, as well as any future Haiku
| applications, will run natively on Zebuntu. This also offers a distinct
| advantage for developers for these platforms; they can use Zebuntu to develop
| for their platforms while utilising the performance and versatility of
| Linux." In other words, run BeOS applications on Linux.

OpenBeOS: It's Alive and Well
,----[ Quote ]
| Yes, Haiku has a lot to offer to those looking for some ripe, fresh
| development ground within the open source community. And considering
| the use of the easy to abide by MIT License, it does have some
| possibilities once the OS has been given a chance to mature some.
|
| I suppose you might be able to argue that at the end of the day,
| Haiku is an OS for the no-nonsense minimalist in mind.
