Retro Computing & Linux

I like old operating systems and the look of the machines that ran them, and I have run Linux for most of my career. This page collects the experiments.

Recreating the BeOS desktop on a current Linux install using Xfce, with matching window themes, fonts, and icon packs.

The goal is a daily-usable desktop that still has the yellow tabs and the feel of the original.
