Interview with Jordan Hubbard About DarwinPorts

Posted by pudge on from the here-a-port-there-a-port-everywhere-a-port-port dept.

Gentu writes "OSNews hosts an interview with Jordan Hubbard (of Apple, OpenDarwin, and FreeBSD fame) where they discuss DarwinPorts and how they compare to Fink. There is also a hint from Jordan that there might be some of the FreeBSD 5.x advancements to be found in Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther) that is coming out, reportedly, this autumn."

  1. Apple as a software company by pork_spies · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Why don't Apple Port OS X to i386 machines? Surely they could screw Linux in the corporate world as well as snap at the heels of MS. Do they really make so much money from their hardware business? If so, I doubt it would die as a lot of people like Macs for the look-and-feel (to coin a phrase) and that wouldn't go.
