Freshmeat Launches Mac OS X Section

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the i-like-my-OS-X dept.

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.)

    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.

    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.

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

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