LOL, as I look over at my BeBox on a shelf, wishing I had a use for it. I learned so much about c++, SMP, threading, etc from BeOS.

Nooooo! BeOS was really great. If only the wxWidgets port for it continued and we'd have easy cross platform software for it.

I see the package manager addition to Haiku and wonder if this was what was really intended for BeOS - it always struck me that it was more akin to the Mac and DMGs on there instead of a Linux-style package system.
