What is BeOS?
BeOS is an operating system for personal computers which began development by Be Inc. in 1991. Unlike some other operating systems of the time, BeOS was written to take advantage of modern hardware. Optimized for digital media work, BeOS made full use of multiprocessor systems by utilizing modular I/O bandwidth, pervasive multithreading, preemptive multitasking and a custom 64-bit journaled file system known as BFS. The BeOS GUI was developed on the principles of clarity and a clean, uncluttered design. It has POSIX compatibility and access to a command line interface through the bash shell, although internally it is not a Unix-derived operating system.
