elfprince Why don't you spin it up and take a ride?
Alright, I'll bite. I woke up at 1 am with a nosebleed in progress, and didn't want to take a chance on lying down again, so I decided it was safer to plug my nose, sit up for a while, and see what's going on in the forum. Haiku sounds like an Other REALLY Interesting Distro, so I thought I'd take a look.
I didn't want to take a chance booting a real computer with it, though, so I created what seemed to be a fairly vanilla VM, installed the .ISO file, and launched it. This is as far as I got.
I'm pretty sure it's too soon to try to go back to sleep, so I'll mess with the VM's properties in the VirtualBox manager for a while and see if I can get anywhere with it. I did notice that it really got the laptop fan running like it never has before.
I didn't have a lot of confidence that this would work, but after all, VirtualBox simply a simulates a hardware computer. I thought there might be a chance.
