The Be Legacy Lives On Through Me

alternateorg on December 22, 2001

Okay, um, so I downloaded the BeOS 5 for Intel installer yesterday because I read that it can serve PHP with a port of Apache. And it sounded like fun so I installed it on my 200mhz machine that otherwise just plods through Windows 98. I installed BeOS 5 and it ran fine but the internet settings wouldn’t work so I rebooted into 98.

And now it appears that I was the last person to do so, ever. They’re closed as of today. So yeah. And given the BeOS’s somewhat slim user-base, I don’t think it’s beyond reason to say that I was the last person to download it.

How funny.
