    Thought a few of you might like to see this. Just got BeOS running on my Aspire One which as far as I know hasn't been done before. Awkward drive imaging (the BeOS installer *cannot* be run because it won't find the cd even with a drive) and a few checked safe mode prompts are needed, needs a special floppy to boot the hard drive (Beos_V5_512MB_Bootloader) but it's pretty speedy. Not sure what works/doesn't beyond the basics yet (I don't think audio does) but anyway... the 3D demos built in do work though![attachment=0:h8evhusq]zomgbeos .jpg[/attachment:h8evhusq]
