I want to see screenshots (latest build) of Haiku, where I can see it ?
It’s possible to run Haiku without BeOS ?

These are mine, Haiku (OS) (some are from users in the #haiku channel), and then we have Philipp Schmid’s. There are more about; google should help 
Yes you can try Haiku without BeOS. You need the free VMware player and the latest build from Philipp markus alexander schmid.
Have fun 8)

When I execute VMware Player, it asks me for a “Virtual Machine Configuration File” with one of these extensions: *.vmx, *.vmc, *.sv2i
Schmid’s build has an extension of *.vmdk.

VMDK is the disk image file. VMX is the configuration in which the disk image is used.
You can generate a VMX file here.
Use as Guest OS: Other OS, and enable IDE0:Master with File name: haiku.vmdk.
Save the generated text in a text file with extension vmx in the same directory where you unpacked the haiku.vmdk file.
On windows double click the vmx file, and it starts the VMware Player.
Alright, thanks guys… I’ll try this when I get home.
I’ve already used QEMU to run the RAW image file; is there any difference? And if not, how come all I got was a Terminal window? Maybe I grabbed an older version? Or maybe I was expecting more based on the available screenshots.

VMWare Player is much faster
About Terminal - it’s normal. Bootscript doesn’t have to run Tracker and Deskbar now. If you want to run them, you have to run this in terminal:
/boot/beos/system/Tracker & /boot/beos/system/Deskbar &

I think the main reason these do not load automatically yet is to retain more stability of the system after boot.
You can run each of the apps directly from the commandline also rather than use tracker/deskbar to navigate to them.
Ah, thanks you two!
