Haiku user Fernando de Sousa, sent ICO an e-mail letting us know about his experiences with Haiku and its network usage. As you can see from the screenshots below (just follow the links), he's been browsing using ol' Opera for BeOS. Here's what he said about it:

"Using ifconfig and route commands and a /etc/resolv.conf file it's already possible to have some internet experience in Haiku as the system already has basic network support.

I think that the possibility of network in Haiku opens a lot of possibilities to the system especially because is so easy for running, testing, developing, hacking, tunning etc it in virtual machines. If you think that is good idea I would write a "how to" teaching how to have network running in Haiku."

So what do you think? A how-to would be useful for newcomers, no? Well done Fernando.
