Freshmeat Launches Mac OS X Section

Liedra writes "After announcing Mac OS X software surreptitiously within its main section for the past several months, freshmeat has now launched a section totally devoted to the platform. Read the article by scoop and visit the section directly." Since I switched my primary laptop to OS X, I'm glad to see scoop do this. (Note, Freshmeat & Slashdot are both owned by OSDN.)

What sort of categories?

Maybe they'll need a section for projects currently being sued by Apple.

X?

The great Taco isn't using Linux? Oh, what sad times are these when passing ruffians can say "OS-X" at will to old ladies. There is a pestilence upon this land! Nothing is sacred.

Taco: We are now... no longer the Knights Who Say 'Linux'.
Slashdotters: Linux! Shh!
Taco: Shh! We are now the Knights Who Say 'OS X'.

Re:OSDN ripening for Apple?

Apple and Linux rumors are being spread all the time. My Favourites are was the AOL to buy Red hat rumor and the Hurd being ready for production use (they still havent got ps/2 mice working yet, and there is no hope for USB support)

What makes a unix-like os unix-like?

Bash/tcsh/sh/*sh ? OSX Has it
X11? OSX has it
Unix kernel? Got that too
ssh? Yup
Stability? Yup
Bad UI that's hard to use and not fully intergrated? Hmm... maybe OSX has a ways to go.

Hell... it *should* be possible to port any unix app to darwin and run it in an xserver on OSX.

Hello $95 OSDN subscriptions

If it's anything like the whole .Mac fiasco, it'll be $99.95 to get access.

Preemptive Strike...

Does that mean this story will get posted three times instead of two?
