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.

not yet but much better now
we're quite nearly there
Really, Haiku would have been production ready ten years ago if it'd go for a day without crashing.
Many of the core features have largely been done for the last decade, but you really couldn't trust your data to it.
You still can't quite, but it's been improving steadily for the last few years.
The biggest things for most people with this release are:
>actual wifi support
>proper package management
>driver support is better

Have they learned to test their software? For you shan't exist if you don't test.
