What kind of box are you planning on installing it on, and what do you
want to do with it? BeOS R5 works just fine on my older PPro boxes,
but most folks don't have hardware of that age anymore. :-)

True. Zeta is much more slower than the original Be-OS.

R5 for productive Working
Zeta for Testing and Playing with It
Haiku for pure Astonishment

I think cause that suckin' SVG-Stuff and so on. I don't understand
Yellowtab. There were much more important Things for Implementing than
eyecandy Stuff for GUI in Zeta.

Anyway, they're dead now.
