I would like to add that I have yet to hear a sound justification for
why OpenBeOS should have hard-core UNIX-style multi-user capabilities.
There are quite a number of very solid FREE server OSs out there; I
can't think of what we would bring to the table that they don't already
provide -- BeOS is a desktop/workstation OS, fer cryin' out loud.
I would, however, really like to see the "Mom/Dad/kids sharing" model
get implemented.
