It's more a matter of Haiku R1 being a copy of BeOS R5, and as such
it's easier to just google for BeOS screenies. :)
If you do want shots specifically done from within Haiku, they're at
the following URL:

Again, if you want to have a feel for Haiku as an end-user, get BeOS R5
off http://www.bebits.com and try that out. Even as a developer,
actually, you might want to download R5 and the developer tools as
that's the development environment for Haiku.
Or, if you want to see what happened to BeOS after R5, get ZETA from
http://www.yellowtab.com (has trouble building Haiku at the moment
though, I believe).

Anything that runs BeOS, so while you theoretically could use a P100/
32M and build various sub-parts of Haiku, most people will feel more
comfortable with at least a Pentium 3-500 MHz and somewhere around 256M
RAM. I myself have a Celeron-2.66 GHz w/ 512M RAM.
So there's really no magic involved, just have to make sure BeOS boots
on your hardware, and you'll be fine.
Välkommen!
