Mac OS X 10.3 vs. Linux

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the apples-and-penguins dept.

M.Broil writes "This is a nice and fairly complete 'first look' at Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther), but author Chris Gulker, who I happen to know was an Apple PR guy years ago, spends a lot of time comparing the Mac 'Panther' release to Linux, which he seems to use most of the time these days. He obviously likes a lot about Panther, but he doesn't think many Linux users will switch to it, and that a lot of 'Classic' Mac OS users may not want to move to it, either."

    But I'll give you a (slightly altered) quote to sum up the situation: 'Linux makes the easy things difficult, but it makes the hard things easier and the impossible things possible.'

    Wheras MacOS makes the easy things easy, the hard things hard and the impossible things not possible.

    Great quote you got there. Too bad it's false unless you're willing to back it up with examples.
