<a id="welcome" name="welcome">Welcome to Haiku!</a></h2>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Thank you very much for checking out Haiku! This is our third public release. We hope to attract new developers to our project and give future users a chance to check out Haiku. We realize that this <i>alpha release</i> does not yet fully live up to the goals that we have set for ourselves and doesn't offer all the features and well-rounded end-user experience planned for the final R1 version. However, we hope that this release lets you discover Haiku's great potential and that you share our excitement.</p>

<a id="bugreport" name="bugreport">Beware of Bugs</a></h2>
|
|||
|
|
<p>We have been working hard to fix all possibly show stopping bugs, however, being an alpha release, there are bound to be plenty left undiscovered.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<div class="box-warning">We discourage using alpha versions as a production system. Your data could very well be altered, mangled or downright destroyed.</div>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>One of the main reasons for releasing an alpha version is to attract more people to test the system and discover bugs or provide suggestions for future enhancements. Please file bugs and enhancements in our bug tracker after using its search function to avoid duplicates.</p>

<p>The first release(s) of Haiku will be very much like the BeOS R5, the operating system it is reimplementing. If you never experienced it, have a look at these links:</p>

<a id="software" name="software">Installing more software</a></h2>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Because of our binary and source compatibility, many BeOS applications run on Haiku (you may have to install the optional package "beoscompatibility" for some programs, see below). After downloading a package, simply unzip it (double clicking opens <span class="app">Expander</span>) to <span class="path">/boot/apps/</span> and start the application from there.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>Popular software repositories are:</p>
|
|||
|
|
<ul>
|
|||
|
|
<li><a href="http://www.haikuware.com" class="printurl">Haikuware</a></li>
|
|||
|
|
<li><a href="http://www.bebits.com" class="printurl">BeBits</a></li>
|
|||
|
|
<li><a href="http://ports.haiku-files.org/" class="printurl">HaikuPorts</a> - maintains patches for ported software</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li><a href="http://www.osdrawer.net/" class="printurl">OsDrawer</a> - hosts native BeOS and Haiku open source software projects</li>
|
|||
|
|
</ul>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>There are also so-called Optional Packages, which are used by Haiku's build system. It is not intended for end users to manually extract and install them. Instead, a utility script is provided, <tt>installoptionalpackage</tt>. This script is meant to bridge the gap while Haiku's package management is still under construction. It will allow you to install most of the available Optional Packages.<br />
|
|||
|
|
You'll have to run a command in Terminal: <tt>installoptionalpackage -h</tt> explains its usage.</p>

<a id="software" name="wifi">Wifi in Haiku</a></h2>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Wifi does work to some extent. At the moment you can only connect to unencrypted or WEP encrypted wireless networks. Due to several different licensing policies of different vendors, a manual installation process for the firmware may be required. A list of working devices and instructions for installation can be found on our <a href="fi/wifi.html">Wifi</a> page (also <a href="http://www.haiku-os.org/guides/wifi">online</a>).</p>

<a id="api" name="api">Getting to know the API</a></h2>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Since Haiku is a reimplementation, the API is still the same as for BeOS R5 (with some additions). Therefore the documentation in the Be Book is still a valid resource. Thanks to ACCESS, who owns the rights to former Be Inc. property, we are allowed to provide a copy of the Be Book.</p>
