    49 <p>Thank you very much for checking out Haiku! This is our first public release. We hope to attract new developers to our project and give future users a chance to check out Haiku. We realize that this <i>alpha release</i> does not yet fully live up to the goals that we have set for ourselves and doesn't offer all the features and well-rounded end-user experience planned for the final R1 version. However, we hope that this release lets you discover Haiku's great potential and that you share our excitement.</p>

    5757<p>One of the main reasons for releasing an alpha version is to attract more people to test the system and discover bugs or provide suggestions for future enhancements. Please file bugs and enhancements in our bug tracker after using its search function to avoid duplicates.</p>

    85 <p>There are also so called Optional Packages, which are used by Haiku's build system. It is not intended for end users to manually extract and install them. However, a utility script is provided, <tt>installoptionalpackage</tt>. This script is meant to bridge the gap while Haiku's package management is still under construction. It will allow you to install most of the available Optional Packages.<br />
