In truth we need USB 3.0 and WiFi equally as much for the future of OS/2. If everyone supported ArcaOS I wonder if that would be a stimulus to more driver development. Let's face it Ecomstaion is a bridge to nowhere right now.

What about the Chromium variant 'Brave " , it seems to offer a lot of good features, but aren't both 64 bit browsers.

I personally use Filestar a lot I have used all the others and I am content to use Filestar. It has more features than anyof them. FC/2 is good too to use for the command line.

I honestly feel that letting them bet to work in peace may be the best solution I work in IT at a large company and thet seems to be the best solution. Yeah I know we can be disappointed but it is better to let them get it right the first time.

Well I have to say I am as anxious as anyone for Arca OS 5.0 to be released.  I do have to say I do think it is wise for Arca Noae to be sure it is working as right as possible. So I have a machine ready to put it on. so I eagerly await its arrival, but understand the reason for the delay.

I have given it a fariry good shakedown and it seems to run fine. Just a little slow, but not as slow as some of the previous releases.

Here is the text from an email from Joachim Benjamins...


Hi Eugene,

thanks for your interest. Best wishes for 2015 for you and your loved ones!

We probably will not release another beta but will go straight to eCS 2.2 GA. Currently this release is pending amongst others on negotiations with Arca Noae about inclusion of the required updates and drivers. When available we'll obviously share the news!

Best regards,
Joachim Benjamins

I have just purchased a renewal and it processed properly. Foolish I know and a potential waste of money, but I wanted to see for myself. Details of status of the product should be communicated, but the way modern businesses conduct themselves today there is so much cloak and dagger.

I work in It. Yum I do not like it I do not dislike it. It is just a tool to achieve a desired result. Not all tools work correctly even in Linux. If I have to use Yum /RPM to get stuff to work so be it. As far as all this discussion goes on that.

Were do we get the latest build of Apache Open Office.
