Workingmac.com Interview With Jordan Hubbard

Posted by timothy on from the short-and-sweetish dept.

Questions range from 'How do open-source operating systems compare to closed-source operating systems?' to 'What does the future hold for FreeBSD?'" It's a quick interview, but a good read. Interesting that to talk about the Mac OS now is to talk about UNIX.

    That is completely wrong!

    First of all, Mac OS X uses the BSD Mach Microkernel (developed by Rick Rashid.. now VP of research for MS) instead of the a traditional monolithic UNIX kernel! It has a lot of the GNU and BSD tools included with it, but after all, GNU's not UNIX!


    Not to sound rude, but clueless mac evangelists should check their facts!
