A preamble
[Before I even start the introduction to this article, I think it's necessary for me to note that I hold stock in Be, Inc. Whether or not you feel this invalidates the findings of this review is up to you, but I would point out that my interest in the success of the company should only underscore how much I want the company to do it right.]

Well, it's been a busy past few months. I managed to find time between finishing school for the year, finding a new job, moving to a new place, and writing music here and there to do a comparison of BeOS R5 Professional versus the freely-downloadable R5 Personal Edition. I know there's a number of readers out there who are curious about the new features in R5, and just what the difference between the two R5 versions is. You might be surprised to find out who won this little shoot-out (hey, no skipping to the end, cheater!)
BeOS R5 Personal Edition for Linux. This is a mirror of BeOS R5 Personal Edition for Linux. It comes in a tarred/gzipped file, making extraction easy and painless. Max is a ‘distribution’ of the free personal edition of BeOS R5, originally released 6 years ago by Be Inc. Vasper started working on BeOS Max long before Zeta came to life and in the years after Be closed down it was of the two actively developed systems, to other being Developer edition also based on PE. BeOS was an OS developed to run on the BeBox hardware, a PowerPC based machine. A Intel x86 port of the OS began in March 1998 with version R3. The last version released was R5.1 in November 2001 for x86 only. This OS was meant to be used for multimedia applications. And includes extras the Personal Edition does not include. This is a mirror of BeOS R5 Personal Edition for Windows. BeOS Personal Edition can have problems booting when it is installed to an NTFS partition. If at all possible. Take any image and save to ISO format. Jun 8, 2000 - Previously known only in small circles as the 'Media OS,' BeOS 5 Personal Edition is now available as a free download. Thanks to new.
Fka twigs two weeks song download. Except, instead of having an audience voting on the rankings - as John Peel would have - I decided to just count down the 50 most popular new tunes I've posted to This Is My Jam this year. So I thought it'd be cool to do one too - a sort of Blue Tapes Festive 50. It turned out some pretty interesting results! Plus its a kind of democracy, so no one can blame me if they don't agree with them.
After Gobe announced that they were to be the North American distributor of R5, I contacted them to get my hands on a copy of R5 Pro. After waiting and waiting, emailing my contact and waiting some more, it finally arrived. The cause for the delay? There was lovely yellow 'Opened by Customs' tape on the package. Yes, an air mail package containing software must certainly be containing drugs or some other nefarious substance. Thank you for wasting my time, Canada Customs.
This review is split into 6 sections:
- Preamble and Introduction (the part you're reading right now)
- Quick intro to the BeOS
- Features (what's new in R5, and the difference between the two versions)
- Installation (my experience with installing it)
- Performance (a comparison between them)
- Clarifying a few PE Myths
- Conclusion (who won)
Each section is summed up briefly with a 'Skippy says' commentary at the end. If you don't have time to read the whole section, at least read that - it'll give you an overview of what you should consider. [NOTE: Some of you might nit-pick that I'm calling it R5 instead of BeOS 5.0, but hey, I'm a BeOS old-timer. It's R5 to me.. none of this 'BeOS 5.0' business.] Also note that I'm quoting $69.95 as the price, since that's how much Gobe is selling R5 Pro for on their website - I realize that other retailers may sell for less.
If you're completely new to the OS, keep reading. Then, check out our additional BeOS coverage, which includes some very detailed reviews of the OS from a GUI and installation standpoint.
What is BeOS R5 about, anyways?
R5 Personal Edition (PE) is a very intriguing product. Normally, installing a new OS means that you have to partition your HD into multiple 'drives' so that you can install the new OS on one of them. This can be a tedious and potentially dangerous process (depending on which program you use). R5 PE, on the other hand, allows you to install and run the latest version of BeOS without needing to repartition your HD. It does this by creating a 512 MB file on one of your Windows (FAT32) drives. This file acts as a virtual partition to BeOS - when you run the BeOS loader (either from Windows or from a boot floppy), it pretends that this file is a partition, and loads the BeOS off of it, as it would off a normal harddrive. Your BeOS applications and settings all reside inside the 512 MB partition with the OS. While this doesn't seem like much room, it actually works fine. The system files, applications, and everything included as part of the system all take up only about 90 MB. I have a lot of applications and things that I've acquired for the BeOS, and that's only around 200 MB. If you decide to use R5 PE as your main OS, you will most likely want to install it to its own partition at some point (since copious amounts of mail and IRC logs can take up space). In the mean-time, however, this clever system lets anyone use the BeOS on their system, hassle-free. Try it, I think you'll like it.
Features
To make this sensible, I'll cover the basic improvements now, all of which are contained in both the Personal and Professional editions, and then move on to cover the added mojo in Pro.

To be honest, R5 isn't as big an improvement over R4.5 as many people (including myself) hoped it would be. This isn't to say that there aren't great new features, but rather that there are some key ones that were left out (more on that later). While a more comprehensive list of the improvements found in R5 is here, I've decided just to cover a few of the points that I feel are most important. You really should check out Be's site just to see all the full list of improvements and random hardware that is now supported (like mouse wheels, yay!), since you may not necessarily agree with my choice of 'most important' points.
1. Media improvements
Be followed through on implementing their multi-track media nodes, and we finally saw support for a lot of new sound devices: the Echo Gina, Layla, and Darla (all multi-I/O cards), and some Aureal Vortex and Vortex-2 based cards, among others. Media file handling was improved, and Be added some new encoders/decoders/codecs to their media system (notably a Cinepak encoder and a system-wide mp3 decoder). Starting with the R5 betas, I experienced some audio crackling issues common to the users of some soundcards. Thankfully these appeared to just be an issue with the betas, because my sound quality is back to its wonderful self with R5 (both Pro and PE).
2. Video changes
Among the selection of newly supported hardware is the Matrox G400, the ATi Rage 128 Pro chipset, the Intel i810 and the Trident MVP4. One thing that really irritated a number of users is that OpenGL support was removed from R5. Be's reasoning is that they were in the middle of re-writing it, and didn't want to either (a) release something that was very incomplete, or (b) waste time updating the old OpenGL drivers to R5.

At any rate, the OpenGL beta is closed to the general public. Additionally, there is currently no OpenGL for ATi or NVidia chipsets. Be does have the necessary documentation for ATi's chipsets, but they are hoping that someone will step forward and offer to write the drivers for them. Nvidia, on the other hand.. well, Trey Boudreau from Be put it best when he said 'our people are talking to their people. Don't attempt to read anything into the previous sentence. You'll just make yourself frustrated.'
At the present, more than 8888 free full games PC are loaded on the website and it has still been in process of building, finishing the contents, so I hope that most of free full games PC could be updated as soon as possible. It created with the purpose is to share free full games PC for all of you. I am so happy when you connect to my website. Download game wrc untuk pc.
It would be nice if Be would open up the OpenGL beta to the general public and let people decide whether or not they want to risk their systems with unsupported and very experimental code. However, Be prefers to release nice, polished tidbits once in a while for the public's consumption, so you'll have to wait until they decide that the OpenGL rewrite is ready. For those users who are a bit curious, there is currently support for the following 3D cards in the upcoming OpenGL rewrite: 3Dfx Voodoo 2, 3 and 4 (yes, 4), Matrox G200 and G400/MAX, and the SiS 620.
3. Deskbar improvements
The Deskbar (aka the Be menu) has three great additions to it: Recent Documents, Recent Applications, and Configure Be Menu. The first two are self-explanatory and straightforward. The latter brings up a helpful window to help you manage the application links and folders that are shown in the Be menu. It used to be you had to manage this menu by creating links to your applications from /boot/home/config/be. While you can still do that (and for some people it's easier), many users will elect to use this new feature. (Click to see a larger image).
4. Bundled FS support
All the newly-included filesystem support drivers were available separately from third parties previously, but it's nice to have them included now by default. Included are read-only drivers for NTFS, ext2 (linux) and cdda. The cdda-fs driver is probably one of the most wonderful filesystem drivers that I've ever played with; it lets you mount your audio CDs as though they were just data CDs with WAV files on them. This lets you manipulate the files in any application as though they were WAVs - and it's completely transparent to the app.

5. A bundled CD-R Utility
Oh my, yes! How could I almost forget it? This handy little program is found in both PE and Pro and lets users of some CD-R(W)s burn audio and data CDs. Here's a l'il screenshot of me busy making a new CD (except that my burner wasn't plugged in).While the list of supported CD-R(W)s supported in CDBurner is short (10, to be exact), any MMC-3 compliant CD-R(W) should work. For those of you who read that last sentence as '.. any ?huh? CD-R(W) ..', check out this helpful tip on BeTips. It explains how and why more drives may work, and has a link to a wonderful list of the drives that do and those that should. The CDburner application itself is fairly straightforward to use. While it doesn't have an overabundance of features, it is quite easy to set up and burn CDs. (Click here for a larger pic.)

Now let's have a look at what the Professional version offers.
