| BeOS may be officially dead, but there's still a strong community hacking on drivers and programs and it has a reputation as a high-performance system with a very well-structured API. Win2K, of course, would purely be for compatibility; Wine has been falling over very badly lately for me (file dialogs don't work in the last few builds I tried <_< ). | ||||

You don't have to sell BeOS to me... I've been sold for a _long_ time. My main issues are the very limited display driver options (vesa) and sub-par browsers... has anything changed? I'm looking froward to seeing what Zeta/OpenBeOS/etc can achieve, although I do think their energy could be spent better elsewhere... (Be is dead... it sucks, move on  )RE: wine. I don't know. I don't use wine at all. I have pretty much every app I could want running natively and (with the exception of K3B) fully GTK2... | ||||

Well, it seems there's a Firefox port, and there are some apparently updated video drivers but still nowhere near what's supported by XFree86/X.Org.
Move on to what, though? I don't get the sense that any other system really shares its advantages. Personally, I've been sweet on Plan 9 (also undead) for a while now, in theory, but BeOS actually has apps. | ||||||||

I guess it depends on what you actually want to do with your computer? I love Gentoo for the fact that I can set it up to be a nice secure and safe environment for my girlfriend to bank, shop and email her friends and family and it also gives me the chance to be completely geeky and recompile my kernal and mess with CFLAGS and other cool things... I guess I don't understand why you'd want to move from Gentoo... _I_ can't see any other OS even comparing anymore. Although, you've got me interested again, I think I'm going to install BeOS Dev Ed on my old Laptop, seems all the hardware should be compatible -> looky... | ||||
