HaikOS version R1/beta2 has been released! The highlights include improved NVMe, XHCI, and HiDPI support, deskbar improvements, new input preferences, more ported software, better kernel stabilization and performance, and installation improvements. HaikuOS is a free and open source software operating system inspired by the Be Operating System which introduced progressive concepts and technologies that represent the ideal means to simple and efficient personal computing.

From the release notes:

The second beta for Haiku R1 marks twenty months of hard work to improve Haiku’s hardware support and its overall stability. Since Beta 1, there have been 101 contributors with over 2800 code commits in total. More than 900 bugs and enhancement tickets have been resolved for this release.

Please keep in mind that this is beta-quality software, which means it is feature complete but still contains known and unknown bugs. While we are mostly confident in its stability, we cannot provide assurances against data loss.

To download Haiku or learn how to upgrade from R1/beta1, see “Get Haiku!". For press inquiries, see “Press contact".

System Requirements:

This release is available on the x86 32-bit platform, as well as the x86_64 platform. Note that BeOS R5 compatibility is only provided on the 32-bit images.

    Pathetic attempts to infiltrate #GNAA official IRC channel on EFNET on Monday ended abruptly when the perpetrators were owned by EFNET's CHANFIX service and control returned to the official GNAA owners. The channel is temporarily +i to avoid any other lamers from attempting to take over while GNAA is regrouping.

    This has been a public service announcement from GNAA (GAY NIGGER ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA).
    And now we return to our usual broadcast...

    GNAA (GAY NIGGER ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA) is the first organization which gathers GAY NIGGERS from all over America and abroad for one common goal - being GAY NIGGERS.

    Are you GAY [klerck.org]?
    Are you a NIGGER [mugshots.org]?
    Are you a GAY NIGGER [gay-sex-access.com]?

    If you answered "Yes" to any of the above questions, then GNAA (GAY NIGGER ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA) might be exactly what you've been looking for!
    Join GNAA (GAY NIGGER ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA) today, and enjoy all the benefits of being a full-time GNAA member.
    GNAA (GAY NIGGER ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA) is the fastest-growing GAY NIGGER community with THOUSANDS of members all over United States of America. You, too, can be a part of GNAA if you join today!

    Why not? It's quick and easy - only 3 simple steps!

    First, you have to obtain a copy of GAY NIGGERS FROM OUTER SPACE THE MOVIE [imdb.com] and watch it.

    Second, you need to succeed in posting a GNAA "first post" on SoylentNews [soylentnews.org], a popular "news for trolls" website

    Third, you need to join the official GNAA irc channel #GNAA on EFNet, and apply for membership.
    Talk to one of the ops or any of the other members in the channel to sign up today!

    If you are having trouble locating #GNAA, the official GAY NIGGER ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA irc channel, you might be on a wrong irc network. The correct network is EFNet, and you can connect to irc.prison.net or irc.colosolutions.net as one of the EFNet servers.
    If you do not have an IRC client handy, you are free to use the GNAA Java IRC client by clicking here [nero-online.org].

    If you have mod points and would like to support GNAA, please moderate this post up.
