About this book

Haiku® is an open source, light, fast and user-friendly operating system thatis inspired by the "Multimedia Operating System" BeOS™. At the momentHaiku is still under development and the latest release was Alpha 2 which ismeant to be used only for testing. Unlike many other open source operatingsystems, such as Linux or FreeBSD, Haiku sets the focus on personal computingand the graphic user interface (GUI) is not just an "Add-On" or "additionalwindows management system", but it is an essential part of the kernel.This thesis analyses Haiku, especially regarding the ease of use, the GUIand the multimedia capabilities, by giving an introduction to Haiku, an overviewof the history and features of BeOS and a lot of general and technicalinformation about the architecture, the easy of use, the GUI and some otheraspects of operating systems in general respectively in the special case ofHaiku. In order to recognize the main fields of application of Haiku and theexpectations of the users regarding the further development of Haiku, theHaiku community has been analysed by doing an online survey that wasanswered by more than one thousand persons.
