Beos, and NEWOS, are to be ported to Pegasos due to the efforts of former engineers of Be Inc. according to this news I have read on Czech Amiga News. Quoting from Czech Amiga news:
------------------------------
As announced at BeGeistert 010:
"A long time ago Be inc. shipped a Box with PowerPC processors. Later they abandoned the PowerPC in favour of the x86 CPUs.

Ex-Be inc. Kernel developer Travis Geiselbrecht is to port NewOS to the Pegasos motherboard.

Axel Dörfler is then to work with those changes and port OpenBeOS to Pegasos.

Whats the big deal about this?
Pegasos is a PowerPC motherboard, Be is going home!
More details of Pegasos along with resellers can be found here.
A G4 upgrade is planned for July. Later in the Year Pegasos 2 shall be launched with support for DDR RAM, 3 Gigabit Ethernet ports and support for G3 and G4 CPUs.
A dual G4 card is also under consideration."
