I apologize for the crossposting, but some friends and I are interested
in forming a "BeOS Users Group" here at Georgia Tech.  BeOS is a
relatively new OS designed from the ground up to be stable, responsive,
and *fast*.  It has native TCP/IP support, a friendly user interface,
and it supports a range of hardware.  It is not totally POSIX compliant
but many applications have been ported from other platforms, including
Apache.  Currently, the network code is being reworked, bringing it
close in terms of speed to the BSD distributions.  Games for BeOS
include the upcoming Test Drive 6 and Peter Molyneux's Black and White.
It is also very easy to setup and use.  Installations average around 20
minutes on a good CD drive.  Changing settings that would require a
reboot in other OS's are effected nearly instantaneously in BeOS.

If this sounds interesting to you, if you're unsure but would like to
check it out, or if you're game for something new, we're trying to get
together this Thursday @ 7, on the 3rd floor of the Student Center.  It
will just be a preliminary get-together; if we have enough interest, we
can plan further meetings.

Thanks.
