BeOS "Developer's Edition"   
      BONE will cause kernel panics   
      USB patches break network connectivity   
      
   Zeta RC2   
      BONE works (kinda)   
      Video with i810 driver is seriously screwed up   
      Wireless doesn't seem to work and locks the "boneyard"   
      USB patches and Mass storage driver work fine   
      
   BeOS "Wind"   
      Besides coming with a slightly screwed up default config it's not too   
   bad.  manual editing of config files in order to produce the "settings"   
   option in the "window" dropdown.   
      BONE works for the most part, but Wireless still locks the "boneyard"   
   on occasion   
      USB patches seem to work but the mass storage driver creates an   
   endless list of scsi devices in the "drive setup" screen and will not   
   read my USB zip drive.   
      
   so...  i can:   
   have my video but no wireless   
   have my zip drive but run at 800x600   
   /or/   
   have video AND BONE but no zip drive (or any umass for that matter).   
      
   does anyone know of any distros that actually work "as advertised"?
