Hi, all,

I hear from an acquaintance that BEOS 3e is shipping. For those who
might be interested in a copy, there's a 20% discount code on wiley.com,
good through May 2022: BEOS3.

Cheers

Phil Hobbs

I just looked around a bit and BeOS 5 is out there, so what is this?

Has it been finally updated to run on modern equipment?

And who is the author?

I ran BeOS on two of my five unit crunchers back in the Seti@home
days. Lean, pure processing with little OS graphics overhead.

It would be cool to have something similar to Linux to run on modern
gear.

A few hours ago it was available from Wiley Ireland site and the
order I did now went to backorder queue. I knew it's going to be a best
seller, but that was fast :-)

It's a considerably bigger book--830-odd pages in 8.5 x 11 inch format,
like an IEEE collected papers volume. From a word count POV it's about
a third longer than the second edition, not even counting the thermal
control chapter, which is in the printed volume this time.

So as long as you don't mind the large format, I think the new format is
a win.

BeOS was outstanding in its day in its support for SMP, pre-emptive multi-tasking, and multi-media capabilities (amongst other features).
Modern Linux does better at all points - but of course it takes more
resources to achieve that, since it is a bigger and more general system.

There is the open-source descendent Haiku, which might be fun to try.

Pretty high price point though.

It's Phil's confusingly abbreviated book title.

I bought the 2nd edition 6 months ago, haven't read it yet, been a busy
bee the last year. Hope I don't miss out on important changes to 3rd edition

The new one is about a third longer, not counting the revised thermal
cahpter, which made it into the print book for the first time. (That
one's better too.)

Thanks

As I recall from the proof-reading stage, the original thermal chapter did need work.
