+1. I'm looking to use Haiku as my desktop, but while it lacks many
applications, I need `compatibility' get-outs such as:
1. ssh to a GNU/Linux box to do my own Haskell-based development.
I accept that Haskell on Haiku is a low priority.
2. some mechanism to use Linux-based graphical applications: IMAP
email, RSS and Twitter. One day I hope these applications will be
available natively on Haiku but while they aren't, or are in alpha, I
need a way to use them. One way is VNC but it's always been slow and
low-resolution for me (as well as not very well integrated with the
rest of the desktop) so a good web browser talking to Squirrelmail,
Selfoss or Horde would let me start using Haiku -- and the sooner I
start using it, the sooner I will start contributing.
Michael.
