There was a post in this thread about Haiku being featured in YouTube videos, which brings up the question: Is there any way under Haiku to view YouTube videos, either HTML5 or Adobe Flash? I can view some but not all YouTube videos from FreeBSD with (Mozilla) Seamonkey without Adobe Flash plugin. I believe Linux amd64 can be built multilib, capable of running 64-bit amd64 or 32-bit i386 software, believe the BSDs are not as advanced on this matter, and Haiku amd64 can't run 32-bit Haiku or BeOS software (from what I read on this list). This type of backward compatibility is not really new. OS/2 was originally a 16-bit protected-mode OS, and when OS/2 went 32-bit with v2.0 and further, it could still run 16-bit OS/2 programs. I ran OS/2 from v1.3 through Warp 4 until early April 2001, when, following a crash, on reboot, CHKDSK ran amok and trashed all my hard-drive data, and I was never again able to boot OS/2 even from floppies. While I don't want to see Haiku give up 32-bit, I could point out, for comparison, that DragonFlyBSD is quitting 32-bit (i386) support and becoming amd64-only beginning with v4.0, while (Free, Net and Open)BSD, and Linux too, will still support i386 among many other architectures. One thought I have regarding gcc2 is that it must be far past end-of-life upstream. Tom
