Not true. As a maintainer of the lastest ftp NeXT freewares repository, I can see that NEXTSTEP (so mach kernel) ran on 68k, x86, PA-RISC, and SPARC platforms. Of course OpenStep existed not only for mach but also for Windows NT/95 (like the Yellow Box Rhapsody, with a better support of the broker system and OLE than Microsoft itself), SunOS and HP-UX.
Every genuine or complete NEXTSTEP 3 Apps were a bundle directory which contains 4 binaries for 680x0, x86, HPPA and SPARC (OPENSTEP bundles were more complex because the Resources content were splitted for OpenStep IB and Windows ones); and so, the file manager or the 'open' command launched the well-fitted binary when you "start" the bundle directory.
A piece of history here: http://www.kernelthread.com/mac/oshistory/7.html
Remember, guys, NeXTstep runs on PA-RiSC, Intel x86, Mips, 680x0, Sun Sparc processors. OpenStep 4 became Rhapsody 5 which finally became MacOSX. Why MacOSX can be compiled for ARM or UltraSparc T1? The xnu structure is even more modular than ye olde Mach 4 for NeXT, so everything is possible. About the APSL, it doesn't matter. By releasing an opensource kernel, Apple is not forced to release free driver for close embedded tools; I mean, OK, Darwin runs on my ARM riscPC or my cellphone, but what else? PDF display, Cocoa API, specific drivers will never be free...
Hi Dr Chinese,
Can I choose the color ? I would like my pig to be blue like my own jedi laser sabre. Do you accept paypal or pigpay? Can you send it by letter mail to France ? Actually, I need it to enlighten my door when I am completely drunk and I can't see the lock when I come back home like tonight after the New Year's Eve BDSM Fetish Party at Paris...

One change could be really cool: restoring the 'Workspace Manager'; this good old file manager exists in Rhapsody 5 and I don't understand why Apple decided to build MacOSX on the buggy Carbon-app Finder. WorkspaceManager.app gives us the Shelf extension that permits to do two big things:
1. using a drag&dropping move/copy of files between directories with no need of opening another file manager window.
2. eradicating the desktop. All icons are always available through the file viewer. I never understand the use of the classic desktop icons on Mac, Windows, Atari, SunOS... whose any windows can mask.
I hope GNUstep GWorkspace.app will be ready to do that soon because Finder.app get me crazy especially with asynchronous NFS automounts.
If you postulate the existence of this non-number, thus you can calculate apples with peers... I hope they don't code it in good olde BBC basic. As everybody must know, (0/0) = 42...
Actually everybody doesn't care about this because Microsoft send money in Africa but it's true that Vista will pollute the world (and not only Africa) in this global hardware upgrading.
Oh! What about me? I will never get my NeXTcube to trash...
Vista to boot Linux, OSX, BSD? Great! But it looks like a very expensive boot loading issue...? I hope to hear about a grub/lilo version for not-booting-and-erase Vista...

It seems that ReiserFS really depends on 1 guy. For any company this is a risk. It sounds reasonable to me to stay away from products and features like that.
Of course, if Linus Torvalds did zoophilia with penguins, I'd never use Linux... Or if Steve Jobs wears leopard panty...
What about gamers? People who change hardware more than underwear and mostly run Windows?

They can buy a PlaySation 3;-)). More seriously it could be a good idea if the gamers' world insists on having more games on Linux or MacOSX (even if the Mac should permit a more evolutive GPU chipset integration...)
I did the same thing. I used Debian for 10 years and I booted unstable version during the last 5 years. So I started to switch to ubuntu 1 year ago and I enjoy this OS. I still love Debian which is still inside the package system and some of dev tools but I prefer Ubuntu for the dynamism even if there was some problems on some not-so-much-test packages but it's still safer than a unstable debian. It's truly a polyvalent distro. As you said, digitalderbs, debian is still useful (and even better) for servers deployment (i think it's because FAI).

It is the best news of this week. I am 13 years old and now, I know how to send my teachers in jail.
Yahoo!! Long life to the spywares!!![sardonic laugh]Revenge!

(nil) = 0/0 = 1 * (0/0) = (1*0)/0 = inf * (0/0) = inf * (nil) and this yields: inf = (nil) / (nil) = 1
That's all folks!

I remember my NeXTcube is still alive (and even running sometimes). IB development started in 1986, so this technology exists for 20 years.

Please doctor Benway, tell me where I can put my mouse on!
I am a bit lost... Help!
Your own website is so fantastic, doctor. I agree that the perfect feng-shui slashdot site should be: '/. (more zen indeed).

That's correct, I don't speak a good german, but that's it for überalles!!
Yes! That's why everybody should use larswm. Today I decided to install larswm for all of my user accounts... what you say ?! BOFH? wazzat?!?!?
EMACS ? you mean Escape Meta Alt Control Shift ??
