In case you haven't read the news, Be has yanked its ftp site -- along
with most of the dev/user info on the website, its mailing lists, etc.
There was alot of interesting stuff on the ftp site -- sample code, old
newsletter articles, the BeOS PE (Personal Edition) download, etc. I
know that there are several mirrors of Be's ftp site out there, but I'm
not sure what the URLs are. I found a few that had only the PE download
but not the other stuff. I just located one that seems to have most (if
not all) of the original content:
ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/os/BeOS
This is a Swedish mirror (thank goodness for those swedes!)
The reason that I was specifically concerned about this is that I want
all those old Be Newsletters. I knew that Be had a zip of all the old
newsletters on their ftp site, which I had been meaning to download.
And like a big, fat, stupid dummy, I forgot. Fortunately, finding this
swedish mirror has saved the day. Here's the URL of the old newsletters
for those who want to save them as well:
ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/os/BeOS/webarchives/BeNewsletterArch.zip
This is a 2.3MB zip.
If anyone else knows of other mirrors of Be's ftp site, by all means,
post 'em here.
