I'd recommend the Personal Edition. http://www.bebits.com/app/2680 Try it.
If it works well enough on your hardware (you may need a boot floppy to
properly get it working - Windows leaves some hardware in a bad state after
restarting), you can move it to a real disk partition and start adding more
software. Or use one of those 3rd party pre-configured BeOS + stuff packages
(though I prefer to know what I'm adding in case of bugs).
Ask if you have problems. There are several user help mailing lists,
BeUserTalk on groups.yahoo.com (send mail to
beusertalk-subscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx to subscribe) may be more relevant than
this one for BeOS questions.
