With Fink, OSX gets one of the neat features of Debian, apt-get.
I have been thinking of trying Debian, but right now YellowDog 2.2 is what I am using and I love it.
Mandrake was ok, but seemed rather slow and missing some tools I like. Actually Mandrake is more than OK, I'd say you should make room for both Mandrake and YDL. bTW, YUP is not much different from apt-get. I haven't explored enough to see if it is just a frontend.
In the case of my state, Kentucky, we couldn't afford to go further with the case. So we dropped out of the case. It was not because we agreed with Ashcroft/Gates, but because we don't have as much money as Microsoft and the Bush administration.
This was no accident, especially if it is on the Pro model. Industrial espionage is big business, and MS is in the best position to exploit this market. How about a listening device right on your competitor's desktop?
I think maybe they have uncovered a mole in the machine with a nasty bug that blew its cover.
If it was cool enough for Apple, then maybe the rest of the world with see just how cool the world of the the Nix's is. UNIX/Linux is more than a Kernel, it is a reflection of all of you who have contributed. That is what makes the Nix's so fucking cool. Apple knew that.
For once Apple found someone cooler than itself and wanted to be part of it.
It has been at least a week, or maybe more since I h ave fired up Mandrake. It is pitiful next to Darwin/XFree. I still love Linux and have nothing but respect for the OS movement, but OSX kicks it.
GIMP takes a couple seconds to launch, Much faster than Photoshop. It is so cool to be able to use PS, Colorit, and Gimp on the same screen.
I was given Virtual PC and XP, but I don't need it. Why infest a perfectly good Computer with that crap from Redmond?
I no longer even check to see if my pages look right on IE. I don't care if my pages work with any MS product. I won't even allow IE on my drive.
Apple has no control over Sorenson. QuickTime would be on Linux by now it Apple owned Sorenson.
Apple worked hard and spent a lot of their money in the development of that interface. If it was opensource and put together by people not paid by Apple then I would say yes, spread it around.
We must urge companies to open up, but we must not try to force them or criticize them if they don't move as fast or as far as we want. They should want to come to our side.
Using this clustering you can run old iMacs and new dual G4 SOI machines on the same cluster. You don't have to have the same machine set up exactly the same way.
Look for Quad processor G4's or G5's soon.
BTW, XBill has been ported to OSX! OSX has come of age!!!!
Bork blew it when he made the "intellectual Feast" statement. I remember Hiding my face in my hands when he said that. I knew he blew it, and felt sorry for him. He made it appear that he only saw the court as an intellectual game. That statement made him look clueless, unable to see that his decisions had an effect on real people. I know he knew he screwed up, when he said that. How could he not see that.
His appointment was a political payoff. Remember when Nixon couldn't find anyone to fire Archibald Cox? Well he found one, Robert Bork. The appointment was his reward.
Bork wasn't a bad guy, but he just blew his job interview real bad.
That was Clifford Stoll. That piece of detective work was also done on a Mac. Great book. Clifford Stoll is a creative genius, weirdo, outrageous madman, and lover of thought.
They were nailed good, but Ashcroft relizing that MS gives a lot of money to his party decided to cut a deal with them. Let's turn over themarket to you and you continue giving us money.
Bush lied to us when he said that Somalia was of no strategic importance. Any person who can find Somalia on a map can figure that out. If you control Somalia, you have control of the southern tip of the Red Sea, and in medium range missile range of the southern Arabian peninsula. They also erred by pulling out the C-130 gunships.
Yes Somalia was/is important, and yes we did it for the oil companies that are friendly with and in business with the Bush family. Cheney must also answer for this.
If we get kicked out of Saudi Arabia, look for us to go after Somalia on the pretext of fighting terrorism. No, we need the airbase. Other areas we could use would be Asmara Eritrea, or Addis Abeba Ethiopia, but we would have to show them the money.
We do have a history in Eritrea. It was a NSA listening post for decades.
Clinton couldn't pull out because that would have reinforced the election year propaganda that he was anti military. So he was as much a victim as he showed moral weakness by thinking political instead of doing what was right. That can be applied to nearly all politicians.
I think it is also too cool to be able to post this using links, or lynx from within Aqua or XWindows. Now launch classic, and it is like having three OS's in one.
You can go into single user mode real easy too.
in Terminal
sudo/sbin/shutdown now
You can then fsck till your eyes roll back in your head.
It is happening and O'Reilly knows it. He wouldn't embrace something if he didn't see the potential.
Just think how Apple has transformed the computing experience since 1998. Love them or hate them, the iMac and OSX are the best things that has happened to computers in a long time. they have forced other companies to play catch up. Got them off dead center.
the Linux community must also thank Apple for getting people to think outside the MS box.
That's for those who just have to have their Linux. I have OSXGNU installed and haven't fired up Mandrake since. Why should I when I can run MacGimp, Abisuite, Nedit, and Postilion in OSX? Gnome works just fine thank you.
Jobs knew he couldn't challenge the giant head on, so he is doing an end run by making UNIX user friendly.
Genentech ordered 1,000 iMac, dispelling the old FUD that Macs are just toys.
If Apple can stimulate the computer market again, it will be good for all of us. keep on talking. And yes, linux will be running on it very soon. It hasn't been released yet so give it a few hours for someone to buy one and install YDL or Mandrake.
You can always go to GnuDarwin and get all the XWindows apps you need, or put Linux on a partition. XWindows runs well alongside Aqua in fullscreen or rootless.
there was a call to the Governor of Ohio by John Mitchell the night before the murders at Kent State. Some say this call was to urge the Gov to take whatever steps needed to stop the protests. Within days other students were killed in Agusta, but they were black and nobody cared.
There were no students within 90 yards of the Guardsmen. Seven of the Eleven were shot either in the back or the side. The leaders of the protest were singled out for liquidation.
JFK, ML King, Bobby Kennedy, George Wallace, all seen as threats by Nixon. All targetted by assassins who left a diary that implicated them in the murders. Wallace survived, but his chances of deciding the election that year were dashed. He would have siphoned off enough conservative votes to keep Nixon out of office for his second term.
The guardsmen were not out of control, they were acting under orders. If you look at the picture you can see the officers directing them, and in one shot you can see one with his sidearm taking aim.
Is OSX the new UNIX? Why not OSX instead of the traditional UNIX's. The usual XWindows apps are being ported to OSX, take a look at Gnu Darwin, Easy to install distributions are being offered by others too.
Jobs was smart by going after a market he stood a chance of capturing, instead of butting heads with MS.
BTW, I still run Linux, but not as much since OSX has become faster and flush with now software.

distributedfolding seems to be having problems for some time too. I haven't been able to upload for some time. bandwidth?

I would rather work in DOS than Windows. Windows gets in the way of productivity

I do like the Aqua interface. Modern was nice, but it doesn't have the Aqua look. It looks good.
Some problems persist with the address book and saving images and docuaments in e-mail, but over all, it is fine.

Because we can is the spirit behind all great or not so great endeavors. You can never tell what might come out of it.
whos's security? The record companies? Never accept what they say at face value.
When they talk of security, it means to me they are going to tighten the screws on us.

That's Apple Fever. A $1,299 UNIX work station? If Genetech bought 1,000, there must be something to them.

Keep an eye out for Gigawire. It could be a inexpensive wireless broadband solution.
We won't know until Mr Jobs wants us to know.
