Scott,

Thanks for the reply!  I guess I meant in terms of "target os" was whether
I could build the binaries on Linux ... and then boot to test on open beos
... that's all I was looking for ...

I'm more than willing to reconfigure my machine at home to multi-boot with
be, but should I do that with the rs5 that's out there?  I'm not too sure
what the state of the openbeos is in terms of running, compling, etc.
What is the best way to setup my box to development? All suggestions would
be most appreciated!

Anyway, I'm excited to help out in modest way.

best,

A
