OSX has two local filesystems (let's just leave the network out of this).
UFS: The traditional UNIX filesystems. This FS is case sensitive and act's like UFS is supposed to act. Apple had to do some clever (or not so clever) hacks to get UFS to invisibly support Mac resource forks (ala.AppleDouble type folders, I don't know exactly how it works, I use HFS+)
HFS+: The third version of the Macintosh filesystem, this FS is NOT case sensitive, but is case aware. Thus README and readme would be the same file. However, since the FS is case aware, it keeps the case you want. (REaDMe would remain REaDMe). Apple had to do some clever kernel hacks here too, since HFS+ does not support hard links either. --
Though I use a Macintosh, I am not a mac-bigot. I just hate Windoze.
its so easy to look around in an FPS game using a trackpad. NOT. Some of us NEEEEEEEEED a friggin external USB mouse. Can you say "Intellimouse"? --
Though I use a Macintosh, I am not a mac-bigot. I just hate Windoze.
Actually it is based on Mach with the 'BSD tools', where 'BSD tools' often have nothing to do with GNU tools. BSD != GNU.
Further, Apple would not even think about including that damn virus in their software, especially when they can get software from the *BSD's that works just as well (if not better), and is truly free. --

Repeat after me: It wasn't free advertising.
Good, now do it again. And again. And again.
Apple DOES NOT want thier products announced before announcement. The sites that the cube were posted on would have posted said information ANYWAY (Look back to the origional iMac for perspective). Apple is a company that likes to put on a show and these rumors take some of that away.
Further, the rumers tend to crop up weeks to months in advance. That means missed sales. It is bad enough for Apple when people know that the standard update of the product line is a few months away and wait for the new machines to buy. Only the truly savvy are smart/tight-fisted enough to do that. The rumors encourage _everybody_ to do that. Apple was able to revitilize it's hardware with the G3 (beige), which brought in enough sales to develop the iMac. Imagine if the origional G3 owners knew what was on the horizon. Would they buy the boring beige G3? Some would, but would it have been enough to really fund the R&D that Apple needs to survive. --

would you rather they blow up nukes instead? The model them on a computer so they don't have to do it IRL. -- Though I use a Macintosh, I am not a mac-bigot. I just hate Windoze.
Now that I think about it, there was no problem with the 603. The G3's backside cache, if I remember correctly, was the problem. Something about the way the cache worked prevented MP unless you disabled them. Ick:P -- Though I use a Macintosh, I am not a mac-bigot. I just hate Windoze.
ahem. exactly. the G3 is based on the 603. the 604 was multiprocessor capable, and designed to be a monster. the G3, like the 603 was designed to be fast, but also lightweight (power wise), and high end features (like MP) are not needed. -- Though I use a Macintosh, I am not a mac-bigot.

Ummm no. Modules are compiled against the kernel source, not the running binary. You most certainly do not need to (or want to) reboot before compiling modules. -- Though I use a Macintosh, I am not a mac-bigot. I just hate Windoze.
I have seen the first generation SGI intel boxes. They are NOT "just a peecee". SGI had to do serious hacking to the NT HAL to make it run. Linux required patching to make it run. the VW series have a firmware rather than a bios, and have an archetecture that looks more like an MIPS box than a PC. for $6K, you _CANNOT_ buy a pc archetecture machine that performs like these SGI's. -- Though I use a Macintosh, I am not a mac-bigot.

The MP in Darwin is in the mk (Mach). Mach in Darwin is under Apple licensing. Can you say "dirty code"? Also, I really dont know how easy it is to convert MP code for the Mach microkernel to the beast we all know and love as Linux. (Though, it would be easier to go to linux than some monster like MacOS). -- Though I use a Macintosh, I am not a mac-bigot. I just hate Windoze.
As a mac bigot i represent that remark! Wait, that isnt right... i _used_ to represent that remark:) The best page for a good laugh is this guy. Be sure to look at the comparison between MacOS, Allegro (MacOS 9ish), and Next at the bottom. Be careful though, this poor server is a PowerMac 6150/66 or so running MacOS... vintage 1994 hardware. --
you might want to take a look at solaris 8 before you go off again. Perl is included, or at least it is according to http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/whatsnew.htm l --
Berkeley syntax (aka ps aux) doenst have a dash. SysV syntax (ps -ef) does. GNU ps does both, and it figures out what syntax you are trying to use based on whether the dash is there or not. (some flags have differing usages based on if they are berkeley or SysV)
re rpm: RPM uses -i for install, -U for upgrade, and -F for freshen. Have a bunch of RPMS, and you just want to install the updates for what you already have? Freshen them (rpm -Fvh *). Unfortunately, I have seen this break down, especially with kernel rpms. As for the central depository, anything that comes out of redhat proper doesnt depend on anything not in the distribution. 3rd party RPMS are different, but I have never had a problem finding requirements at freshmeat.
re: flakiness. 6.x (i am currently using rawhide), gnome issues aside is quite stable for me, and is current as far as i know. And actually, even gnome is decently stable now.
I like redhat myself, but I havent tried debian yet. One of these days, when I have an extra machine to play with, i might.
I could be talking out of my ass here, but I believe the icons are actually 48x48. Of course, the screenshot link was bad, so I couldnt check for sure... I do know that a lot of mac users were bitching over the initial rhapsody stuff when they found out NeXTStep/OpenStep/Rhapsody used 48x48 icons rather than the 32x32 icons of traditional MacOS.
I am a little confused about why adaptec is specifically mentioning redhat 6.0 as a base... shouldnt this be in the kernel? Also, since redhat has been out for a lot longer than this press release, how is it my copy of rh6 that i downloaded a month ago already has support?:P

"Why didn't they try an ATI rage pro with 32MB?"
:)
:P
Well, because the rage pro never had 32MB
As for the Rage 128, that is a better question. My guess is either:
1: the rage 128 isnt accelerated under GLX_Utah or
2: the author is biased against ATI and didnt want a fair comparison
my guess is 1

thus ps -aux whines, and ps -ef doesnt
well, with bootnet.img on a single floppy, i can put a decent distribution (redhat 6.1) on a machine with just 1 floppy.
I seem to be noticing this a lot.
Evolution is a theory about biological development. Chemicals and molecules are not biological (in general).
"Where the water came from" has nothing to do with how birds and lizards came from the 'same' branch of the biological tree.
Also, the idea of God (or Allah or Ra or whatever) is not biological either. it is philisophical. Again, it has nothing to do with evolution.

Yes, Office for Mac supports VBA in Excel and Word. How well it works, i dont know...
Not exactly. The 603 does SMP perfectly well (the BeBox screamed, and it was only 2 by 75 MHz).
The G3 doesnt because of the way it accesses the backside cache, or at least that was the blurb i read somewhere (probably macosrumors) from Moto.
