Someone lied 30 years ago. Beosbible.com is for sale, so no updates for me.
Fortunately the author @shacker , is now hosting these at https://birdhouse.org/beos/bible/

Successfully loading Haiku from Grub now (I used to use reFind). Awesome!
When Be Inc folded up I continued to run #BeOS longer than most of my friends. AND when I threw in the towel I bounced around a lot. I tried going back to DOS for a couple months. I ran Gentoo #Linux for a while. Did a stint on Mac OS X on a PPC Mac I rescued at a surplus sale, and finally settled on Debian Linux for a few years.
I settled on #FLOSS OSes like Linux because I wanted something that wasn't going to die like BeOS did, or focus shift away from the user like Be Inc had. I figured FLOSS would always "live" as long as developers were interested in it.
Ive done a few stints with NetBSD and FreeBSD and have distro hopped a fair bit these past five years, feeling increasingly unhappy.
Its clear to me I was right about FLOSS's lifespan. But I failed to realize I think, that it can still loose it's soul.
