If BeOS is free I will try it  :rolleyes: What do you think about SuSE or MandrakeLinux?
--- End quote ---

 I never tried SuSE, but I heard great things about it (how easy to use it is, compatibility, etc.)

I did run Mandrakelinux for a year, until I switched to Slackware because of my desire to configure everything myself. I liked Mandrake, it's very easy.

MrX:
to find out what it looks like- you should do a VNC see topic:
[thread]8826[/thread]

on my machine, i can guide you thru some demos, etc. :thumbup:

WMD:
To answer the question...BeOS uses its own desktop.  It's pretty good, from what tiny bit I've done.  (MrX's connection is too slow for vnc :p)

Pretty much all Linux distrobutions include both KDE and Gnome.  Ubtuntu only includes Gnome by default though...and starting with v2.8, I declare Gnome better than KDE.

Aloone_Jonez:
Is BeOS mainly graphical or text based?

Does it  load up in text mode than optionally load X and a desktop like Linux?

Or is it like NT where you can only load it in graphics mode?

 1. Mainly graphical. More like the text based stuff is all hidden away, like in Mac OS X.

2. Not that I know of. And BeOS doesn't have X. It has it's own graphics stuff that is superior to X in speed and load balancing.

3. I believe so.
