serendigital writes "Unix guru Simon Cozens wrote about his "conversion" story in the UK Unix User Group Newsletter. He touts: OroborosX and XDarwin. This gives you a rootless X server and Aqua-like window manager. He also seems to like the libraries: the NeXT approach of separating libraries off into their own subdirectories and separating out library versions makes for a much tidier filesystem arrangement than simply bundling everything in /usr/lib. One of the more controversial "differences" in OSX." And on the other side of the switch, there's Wil Wheaton does Mandrake.

    People who use apples are rude and elitist

    But you're not? Let me see if I can pull some samples out of your post (and just this post never mind your rant)

    ...your undersized monkey brain can't understand... they are oft worthless and ancillary ... YOU are the retard here, my little loser friend ... wouldnt know what the fuck to do with that command line ... FreeBSD or die losers ... you wouldn't know the fucking difference if it was a brock hitting your face, Zealot ... Can you figure out how to run the OpenSSL benchmark ... Chew on that you lunatic


    and all of that just from a short post. So now tell me who's a fucking elitist bastard? People might actualy listen to you if you came accross as an intelligent, reasonable and thoughtful individual instead of a Bill Gates loving 13 year old with nothing better to do than look at porn all day.
