I've been a BeOS user for like 10 years, and developer, then moved to Haiku which tries to rewrite it as Free Software. I'm also a Debian user.
I was given a BP6 to help me develop software for BeOS faster than on my K6-2 350 looong ago, before I had more powerful machines. I kinda liked it, except for the vacuum cleaner noise, but I guess that's part of the charm and I probably shouldn't try to fix it. It also came with SCSI disks which didn't help. The case is a quite plain middle tower, which I once brought with me on the train to Germany for a BeGeistert event, and gosh, it's heavy. When I first got it, I was so excited I forgot it came from the US and plugged it right away. I then had to change the PSU.

Last Christmas I tried booting it after like 15 years and it worked, sometimes, but not with all RAM sticks, so I knew I'll have to recap it, and I just ordered the parts for it. I shall take some pictures then. Then I intend to see how latest Haiku runs on it.
I'm also thinking about building some blinkenlights for it, much like the BeBox CPU usage LEDs. The case front has some vents that'd fit LEDs quite well.
I also just got a PowerMac G5 dual for the Haiku PPC port, which also happens to have holes on the front which just fit LEDs perfectly. So I think those three running BeOS & Haiku would make a very nice picture.
Meanwhile, just a quick pic, from my bedroom
