A first look at Haiku (alpha)

,----[ Quote ]
| As the project's documentation regularly 
| points out, Haiku is still in the alpha 
| stage. It may be a developer's and hobbyist's 
| playground, but it's definitely not in a 
| position to move into the home desktop or 
| business markets. The system is quick enough 
| and shows promise, but it's missing a lot of 
| features available in other modern operating 
| systems. In some ways, it feels like Haiku is 
| stuck in the 1990s. Separate user accounts, 
| package management, and a wider range of 
| applications would go a long way to making 
| Haiku more appealing and will hopefully be 
| added later. With the alpha now out in the 
| wild and the system equipped with development 
| tools, I suspect new software and ports will 
| spring up fairly quickly. In conclusion:
| 
|     * Project in alpha
|     * Off to a really good start
|     * Not for production

LiveUSB OpenBSD project at sourceforge

| It is really easy to create a USB bootable
| OpenBSD LiveUSB image. With that you can do
| just about anything you want. Don't believe me?
