BeOS doesnt really do stuff that you absolutely CANT do in other OS'es,
but, it does stuff better, faster, cheaper, and more stable. Media is
what they are shooting for, and they need dev's.

Yes, BeOS is really cool.

BeOS is easier to use than linux and freeBsd but it is not a child like
MAc.
It has a version of Descent, but im unsure aobut TombRaider. I dont
think you will find anything you can do that is for Linux and BSD and
not BeOS.
