After nearly 6 years since R1/alpha4, Haiku R1/beta1 has been released.

[...] This release sees the addition of official x86_64 images, alongside the existing x86 32-bit ones.

[...] By far the largest change in this release is the addition of a complete package management system.

I'm very happy to see the progress alternative open source operating systems have made in recent years.

[Haiku -- an OS,
development continues,
open source is good.
Try your own --Ed.]

    As a formerly very happy Be-OS user, I have been interested in Haiku for a while.

    I have not had a lot of success installing it on anything until recently, and am about to try this beta without a lot of confidence.

    Until someone with very deep pockets gives this team the resources to put more effort into Haiku I can't see it being more than an Internet oddity.

    I would be very pleased if I was proved wrong however.
