Well it isn't that hard to download BeOS R5 PE, and I believe you can
even install it in Linux. I'm using PE right now myself. Plus, come
on, we are trying to recreate BeOS, if someone wants to help us do
that I would hope they would be willing to run the current version of
BeOS.
Also, about the only thing someone would be able to develop would be
the kernel or small applications, because at this point most of the
major BeOS libraries aren't available on Linux (of course who knows
what is up with BlueEyedOS or Cosmoe in that regard.) Also in some
sense I thought we were trying to be more "BeOS pure" than the other
guys and therefore are staying away from Linux ;)
