Hello,

Well since I'm a total n00b and want to have experience with every OS I can, I'd like to get BeOS, somehow. Where can I download it from? I was surfing BeBits, but I really don't know what to download. Found BeOS Personal Edition for download, but it had all this "download R5" and whatnot. Is it very big? If so I might have to get on CD and not download it...:(

Anyway, thanks in advance for any help any of you may lend.

Eh? Found a broken link? Try this: http://www.bebits.com/app/2680

Is it very big?
PE (Personal Edition) isn't very big, it's 43M.

You might find it from eBay (http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?cgiurl=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2Fws%2F&MfcISAPICommand=GetResult&query=beos&categoryid=&ht=1&category4=4619&SortProperty=MetaEndSort&BasicSearch=&from=R2&catref=C3).

hey veh I got Beos the latest version on Cd just send me 100.00 to cover shipping and I will send it to ya! :haha:

So I should just download "BeOS R5 Personal Edition for Windows"? Is that it?

And is there an AMD version?

Yes, that's it. For AMD XP/MP CPUs, check the instructions from BeBits Wiki (http://wiki.bebits.com/page/InstallingOnAthlonXPorMP).

Good deal.
