Indeed, I installed Haiku yesterday with Virtualbox and you can attach the 2Gb partition they provide with the compressed vmdk image. I'm quite impressed by the OS, although it's a bit buggy at the moment. I want to install the KDE4 applications provided by the TiltOS project, it looks pretty neat. I'm curious about its performance when installed on real hardware; without the guest additions it's already very snappy when running virtualised.

However cramp anything non-Haiku/BeOS on it like GTK/Qt and it will not have that much of speed. The key is killing the layers and cutting complexity.

Uh, it does sound weird. Couldn't you install from the iso to a virtual drive instead of using the prepackaged vmdk images? I know the guy from the TiltOS project mentions something about lack of space in the official Haiku images, but I don't know what he says the solution is...

This is just brain damaged if you ask me. :-/

I don't want to step on other people's toes, but someone in there needs to think before they act :P
