I did at one point in time in a VM years ago, not so much as of lately. Now,I
am curious as to how far they have gone in their deveolopment. I will have to
see if I get a chance anytime soon. :)

I have. I have tried it on an Eee PC 701. Most of the hardware is supported (including wireless). You can't really do much with it but it is a neat concept. I'd love to see it gain more traction.

Apparently, their latest stable release was from three years ago; however, there is active development going on in spite of the stale release.
Believe it or not, I was able to write up this message in Haiku's SSH client. And, yes... I misspelled the word "Haiku" in this screenshot. I am a terrible
speller.

Sorry that Haiku is not a UNIX-like system but I posted in this group anyway

I tried it out briefly. It's an interesting concept, to have an OS with a ve unified codebase at the core, and a more tightly controlled organization. My brother tried BeOS back in the day, which I never got around to. Depending o what you use your computer(s) for, Haiku might be a usable experiment for yo though if you depend on your computer for day-to-day work, Haiku might not b the best fit.
Off the top of your head, do you know if this runs in virtualized environmen I was just mentioning how I was considering using it as a KVM guest. Or mayb VirtualBox.

Anyone here ever ran Haiku?
So, I did finally get the last nightly build from 2016-12-15 last night, and I
noticed they are calling it a GCC2 Hybrid. Kind of worries me, because it implies that there is some form of a GCC kernal capable of running binaries for
the *BSD and Linux flavors.
I have downloaded one game for the BeOS, Tetris, for me to test with in both the Alpha release from 3 years ago and to the aforementioned nightly build. Tetris ran fine in the Alpha release, but not at all in the nightly build. I am
not sure if the failure was from not having the needed packages or not. I hadn't dug too deep into the problem to see if I can fix it. Haiku did say that
there are some packages not included with the nightly builds.
In the nightly builds, I do like the slight change in apperance and the new GUI package manager, Haiku Depot. Also, one of their tweets on Twitter did say
that they are able to, at least, boot to the desktop on a UEFI computer (the Macbook Air, i think, in the demo). So, they had made great strides, and I am glad they are still actively developing it to be a full-fledge operating system.

I was just mentioning how I was considering using it as a KVM guest. Or maybe VirtualBox.

Maybe just low-level changes since then (like the kernel) that have
stopped the Tetris program from running?

Could have been, and what I would suspect. However, the version of BeOS Tetris
that I've gotten did include the source code, and I am thinking about taking a
look at it and see there is a clue as to why it wasn't working.

Try compiling it maybe on haiku.

I installed the nightly the other day in virtualbox. I googled some info on it,
but I don't recall there being any big gotchas. It was very straight-forward. The NIC maybe needed a particular setting IIRC.

That was the thing, I didn't have to compile it on the alpha release. I can try
it in the nightly builds and see if it will compile it there or just error out
and see if it will put a glaribgly obvious error.

Chris,
I was runing two different version of Haiku on VirtualBox. I am not sure ab KVM, though. The only issue I ran into with using VirtualBox has the hypervisor for the Haiku VM was that the 3-year-old Alpha release does not h the VirtualBox Guest Additions readily available. The nightly builds do, thought, using the Haiku Depot. I noticed that the guest video driver isn't working, but I think the mouse integration does though. I never set up a sh folder yet, so I really do not know if shared folders work there or not.
As far as KVM goes, your guess is as good as mine.
I apologize to tfurrows for jumping in before him, but it was something I kn the answer right away, and I thought that I would jump right in. :)

I know I'm late to the discussion, but my 2 cents..
I ran BeOS as a desktop at work for about a year around 2000, when most of what I did (mostly dev using Emacs, mail using Pine..) was in a terminal, and the rest of the OS I used to play mp3s. Such a great OS, especially on a dual CPU box.
I wish I had time to contribute to the Haiku project. I've only run it in a VM to play with, but nothing beyond that.

I have it on a VM, ran the earlier iteration, called BeOS on a laptop a couple of years back. Interesting little OS, almost entirely user supported, was very little commercial software released for it. It had potential, but almost all of it unrealized...
