Searching and Finding

 In an attempt to create a new file server, I ended up installing BeOS on my "Trapezoid Beta" machine. Why? Built-in FTP and rlogin via Telnet may have helped. Plus, seting up a VNC server would be extremely easy — only two files need to be added.
 This effort has made me realize something. You simply can't beat BeOS!

 So now, I've made my decision. I'm going to install and inevitably actively develop for the Haiku platform, which is the only OS said to improve on the abilities of BeOS R5. App_Serve is already well done, and the netstack is now becoming very much usable. And because It's Open Source (at least to a high extent), I'll be able to compile it to match my processor's abilities! Finally, good speed from crappy Intel Celeron Coppermine architecture!

 And just so you know, this is being written on the TB system, running Bon Echo (Technically Firefox v2.0) on BeOS
