I now have Zeta 1 installed beside my R5.
I am not a zeta fan however. But I can now use my printer which wos not supported before, and I can use my USB-Memory stick nnwith Zeat now. Zeta is mostly polished to the Newcommers and the customers who need the locale kid. This is a strong field for Zeta, now. I am sure they will do their best to support BeOs development.

it's easy to build blackbox and WindowMaker with Zeta
maybe it would be usefule to do some improvements,
but it's not really necessary to change anything in the sources only in the configure and Makefiles, that's all!
why it doesn't work with R5 is because I linked wm and some X11-libs against libbind (libnet is missing some things!), but maybe there are also some other problems with R5, but I cann't judge it, I don't have a R5
but Zeta Neo has besides the new dev kit also a R5 Development environment, which you can use, and I didn't use it bacause I got involved into some problems, I can't remeber anymore but I "selected the easier way";
and Zeta R1 only has the new one.

I don't think Zeta is a haiku-killer,
maybe it's a BeOS killer,
but I don't see a progress in BeOS R5 - old kernel, missing and old libs, unresolved bugs,...
why stick to an old version (5-6 years old!) if there is a new one?
I am not a mega fan of Zeta, but Zeta and also Haiku will have a future;
so I don't use BeOS R5 and why should I use it?,
I know that some apps games which I've ported doesn't work with R5, but I am sure that there are some poeple and developers who are able to build a R5 version, if they would have interest and time!
and I have also a full time job!
It's only my opinion and I don't want to have a flamewar.

The source is GPL, just ask for the src-code. Its running in a XServer session so there shouldn't be any problem compiling this for R5.

I know that there is poor interest in X11 under Zeta /BeOS;
but I am still wondering why people think that this is an emulation, there is no hardeware nor softare emulation

| All well and good but |

Why would anyone want this in BeOS?Dont get me wrong I love WindowMaker in Linux Because Its way snappier than KDE or Gnome,But the native BeOS GUI is plenty snappy,and being as it must run in emulation under Be, surely the only real use for this is as an interesting geek toy
