the BeOS Loader v.4.5 (maybe 4 too, BeOS RC5 uses the 4.5 loader) works 
in every OS except 9.0 and up. 8.6 is fine. I also run BeOS on my 9500 
180MP (now a G4 400, still have the MP card though, waiting for another 
computer to put it in). BeOS is such an amazing OS. If Linux had the 
GUI of BeOS on top of the Unix/Linux core, there is no doubt in my mind 
that it would be the best platform out there; however, I find Gnome and 
KDE to be very lacking on old computers, like the 180MP. This is where 
BeOS excels. The GUI works beautifully on my 180MP, even my 160MHz 
Performa. Windows refresh while resizing better on BeOS on a 180MP then 
Mac OS X on a G3 800.

Good luck with Linux and BeOS. Nice to know there are a few out there 
who still use it.

calimed it wanted to format my BeOS partitions (I clicked 'no' but I

If I get this up and running I'll shut up, so pray for silence ;-P
