If you're like us, you like to pick up a book and ruffle through its pages before you buy it. Below you'll find a collection of excerpts from five BeOS Bible chapters. BeOS gets around these limitations with an elegant MIME-typing scheme. Use BeOS's powerful Find panel to data-mine your hard drive in ways simply not possible on other operating systems.
Users can tell the OS to reserve hardware resources for legacy hardware devices, if necessary.
This chapter is designed to help users who have never used a shell before get up to speed quickly.
