At one point, I too bowed at the altar of the fantastic BeOS. Amazing operating system. Lacked a bit in the networking area, but still fantastic work. Personally, I'm waiting for some first hand reports on Zeta R1 before I purchase - so, maybe you could post a mini review on the forum (Nekonoko would probably allow for some screenies too).
configure complete, now type 'make' and pray.

It's been a good day. My copy of Zeta R1 has arrived and cost only $84.00 shipped. Oh and not to mention I also recieved my unopened copy of Nextstep 3.3. Now I'm off to fetch a PC to install on to. Screenshots soon.

nice!; I could be interested to know also your PeeCee hardware config, and the degree of support on the drivers side for every device present in your box. I've always liked BeOS, and Zeta seems a fair honest release, with tons of support for COTS.

There was a not so favorable review in the current c't edition (german computer magazine), if anyone's interested, I can do a short summary of it. Mostly ran along the lines of 'There's no real reason to buy it, at least wait until the application bugs are ironed out'.

This should be "the previous edition" (14/05), my fault :oops:
