Haiku beta 4: BeOS rebuild / almost ready for release. / A thing of beauty
BeOS was not a Unix, nor even particularly Unix-like. Many of its influences reflect its founder's involvement with the Mac at Apple – but significantly, this is the era of the classic Mac, and the influences are fromMacOS, not from the 21st century, Unix-based Mac OS X. So, while Unix was a text-mode OS for a multiuser minicomputer, written in C and accessed by a text terminal, BeOS is a graphical OS for a single-user workstation.
Haiku is not a Unix. It doesn't have the Unix split of kernel, userland, and graphical stuff sitting on top: you can't boot Haiku into text mode. It's not a server OS, and isn't trying to be. It's alsoa multiuser OS: it boots straight into the desktop, with no login screen or anything. Like a smartphone, it's your computer, so it trusts you to know what you're doing and not break it.
