For context re: Haiku OS (I had not heard of it before)

From the project home page [0]:

> Haiku is an open-source operating system that specifically targets personal computing. Inspired by the BeOS, Haiku is fast, simple to use, easy to learn and yet very powerful.

From the wiki page [1]:

> Haiku is a free and open-source operating system compatible with the now discontinued BeOS. Its development began in 2001, and the operating system became self-hosting in 2008. The first alpha release was made in September 2009, and the most recent was November 2012; development is ongoing as of 2018 with nightly releases.

It's called "Haiku" not "Haiku OS". :)

And see also our FAQ, since a lot of these questions wind up getting asked on these HN threads: https://www.haiku-os.org/about/faq/


Sorry about that! Reminds me of Tor not TOR. :)
