Thanks to Haiku Insider you can read about the Interview with two long-time voices of the Haiku community.

The keyboard on my Dell Latitude has been slowly dying over the last few years, random keys keep dropping out, and lately even the power button has been acting up. Because of that, I'm dusting off an old Intel Mac mini that's been sitting around and going to attempt giving Haiku a spin on it instead.

Old keys fade away,

Mac mini wakes on the desk,

The first attempt begins.

For the most part, Haiku R1/beta5 (32-bit) runs surprisingly well on my old Dell Latitude D630 (Intel 1.99 GHz, 1GB RAM) without any major issues.

However, I’ve noticed that crashes become much more frequent whenever I’m using the Paladin IDE.

Has anyone else noticed stability issues specifically with Paladin?

And by crash I'm talking about "the white screen of death".
