You can download what is called 5.0.4. Other ways are much more involved. I think beos online in germany has the iso and instructions.

Just a heads up--BeOS Online has recently taken to calling their distribution "BeOS Developer Edition 1.0". It's the same thing as "BeOS Developer Edition 5.0.4", they just changed the numbering scheme to make it less misleading. (There was never an actual version 5.0.4; BeOS Developer Edition 5.0.4 was actually version 5.0.3 with some additional goodies goodies thrown in.)

I tried to look at lebuzz because I heard that you could buy a PE CD for $10 that came with some goodies but the site is down. If it comes back up then try Lebuzz if you don't have 528 minutes to wait for a download of the Developers edition 1.0.
