i all!

I recieved yesterday my BeOs R4 copy. After some small struggle with my
partitions I happily installed it. Unffortunatly my video card isn't
yet supported (Intel 3D Express), I'm stuck into 640x480x4grayscale,
I'm waiting for a driver.

I must tell everybody that BeOs is really great. It's the perfect mix
of MacOs and Linux (well, I have never used MacOs, but it "feels" what
I expect of a Mac). If runs very smooth. In fact, 5 minutes after
installing I was browsing the net with the included browser
(NetPositive), configuring the webserver, and the ftp & telnet daemons.
I dual boot to NT and can access FAT, FAT32 and NTFS partitions too!

The command line (Terminal) mode uses bash shell. And a full gcc
compiler is ditributed also (and a Metroworks IDE). So first thing I
did was download Pete's PEU, looked at the makefile and decided to make
NO change. Typed MAKE and voila! PEU was built with NO modification!
Great portability don't you think?

BTW Pete, very useful BNF grammar. Riwan, can you convert that to PS?

BTW2 I'm sending this email from the included BeMail email client.

BeRegards,
