Welcome to Haiku! Beware of Bugs Getting to know the system Installing new software Wifi in Haiku Getting to know the API Getting in contact |
¡Bienvenido a Haiku!
Thank you very much for checking out Haiku! This is our fourth 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 alpha release 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.
Visit our project's website Haiku-os.org for the latest news and announcements.
Cuidado con los fallos
We have been working hard to fix potentially critical bugs, however, being an alpha release, there are bound to be plenty left undiscovered.
Una de las razones principales para liberar una versión alpha es atraer a mucha gente para probar el sistema y descubrir fallos o darnos sugerencias para futuras mejoras. Por favor, archive los fallos y mejoras en nuestro bug tracker después de utilizar su sistema de búsqueda para evitar duplicados.
Habituándose al sistema
Las primeras versiones de Haiku serán muy similares a BeOS R5, el sistema operativo que está recreando. Si nunca lo ha probado, puede mirar estos enlaces:
Instalar más software
Most of the available software can be downloaded and installed with the application HaikuDepot that comes with Haiku.
Because of our binary and source compatibility, most BeOS applications run on Haiku. Many of those have been re-packaged for Haiku or still run unmodified. You'll find more information on installing new programs in the user guide's chapter on Applications.
There are several community-based software collections. See the Software Sites page on our website.
Updating Haiku
Updating Haiku is currently done from the command line. Open a Terminal and enter "pkgman update". When it's finished, reboot.
For more details, see the guide Updating your system on our website.
Wifi en Haiku
Haiku supports wireless networks that are WPA/WPA2 or WEP encrypted and of course open, unencrypted connections. Due to several different licensing policies of different hardware vendors, a manual installation process for the firmware may be required. You'll find more information on supported hardware, firmware installation and how to join a wireless network in the Haiku User Guide's Workshop: Wireless networking.
Habituándose a la API
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.
Deviations from the BeOS API and Haiku specific additions are collected in the Haiku Book.
There are some resources that should help you getting started:
