Eu on BeOS
I was looking thru the BeOs sites, and discovered reasons Eu won't be on Be
soon:
****************
Symmetric multiprocessing - Take advantage of two, four or more processors
in a single machine.
Pervasive multithreading - Multithreading takes large tasks, such as
applications, and breaks them down into a myriad of smaller tasks. Pervasive
multithreading means that this approach is used throughout the BeOS, from
the kernel, through the graphics and I/O systems, and through BeOS
applications.
Preemptive multitasking - The BeOS works on and rapidly switches between
dozens, often hundreds, of smaller tasks. These tasks can be deployed on a
single processor, providing a smooth multitasking environment, or across any
number of processors in a multiprocessor system.
**********************
However, Robert, there is a BeOS gcc compiler,, so maybe you could give this
a shot and get back to us? I know it's more than just re-compiling to get
multithreading,, and having done some multithreaded code, it will sure make
Eu interesting to have commands to direct the threads. This may be the best
alternative to *nix OSs, with dos compatability and a good GUI. And it
installs in 15 minutes?
I am soooooo tired of windoze patches,, i have *countless* patches on this
win95, there is no way i can do a complete reinstall again. Plus, win98 has
a bad record, w2k is buggy as heck, and the latest windoze patches "call
home" to MS. I know this because i wrote the firewall rules to block them.
Kat,
still browsing BeOS...
