My desktop OS: Zeta (NewsForge)
NewsForge looks
at BeOS based Zeta. "Zeta is based on the Be Operating System
(BeOS). I have used BeOS since the free BeOS 5 Personal Edition was
released in 2000, and its ease of use, quick boots, and minimal hardware
requirements allowed BeOS to take full advantage of my computer, which had
a 300MHz Celeron CPU, 64MB RAM, and 3dFX Voodoo 3 video
adapter. Unfortunately, BeOS developer Be Inc. disbanded by the end of
2001, leaving an operating system that was unable to have more than 1GB of
RAM, couldn't support up-to-date AMD and Intel CPUs without special boot
disks, and lacked support for hard drives with more than 80GB of space and
newer video cards."
