    I love *X workstations, and I can say "Not interested". Too slow, too expensive.

    Ok, I unpacked one switch and few ethernets.

    Funny, I just tested on my Cel 1.7, 1GB RAM, Maxtor IDE40GB, 1(only one) SMC 1GBit ethernet, plain RH9 (no tuning, fresh installed). Samba to Win2000.
    SMC Level2 switch,
    SAMBA to Win2000 27.9 MB/s
    ftp RH9 to RH9 (same configurations) 41,3 MB/s

    And they were able to get how much over 4 or 8 GBit ethernets. Anybody who would take him self some time to look at result should see that results over such bandwith are stupid.

    I generally like linux users (but not everybody), hell I'm one of them. But then again everyone has it's own peace and own ways to deal with his life. As for BSD, well real BSD yes, MOX-(Net)BSD no, they're way too pushy for my taste.

    If, as you said, everyone (including the linux pricks) moves to BSD and pollutes it, I will move to something else... or nothing.

    So, if I may ask: "this is just your way to be unique. Running away from crowded teritory."

    As for help, BSD and Linux have good support, except Linux support is easier to find because there is more Linux users than BSD. (please no flame wars on that)

    But then again: "your unique speciality of running, isn't that making you getting support a bit harder than you're supposed to?"

    All the bullshit politics make me consider doing so even now

    Well, I share your opinion on that

  9. Re:So is IE 5.1.6 on OS 9.XX on HTML Rendering Crashes IE · · Score: 1

    Even if exactly the same code was used, it still wouldn't crash on the Mac. Why? RTFL, people. It's a null-dereference bug. That means something tried to access memory location zero. Apparently under Winderz, location zero is not mapped to anything and causes a crash from an invalid memory access.

    Maybe in some other world, but not this one. Mac codebase is completely different than Win-version. Mac and Windows version have nothing in common. Try to compare rendering of sites and you will see what I mean.

    It's not that Mac would be perfect, it's just that people who wrote Mac version didn't make the same mistake as those who wrote Windows version

    "OSX on x86 would kick ass"

    I always smile when I read that. Not because it wouldn't be true, because it's not gonna happen'. Apple is hardware reseller so forget it. If Apple would make OSX for PC, it would be just as making suicide.
    Lot more work on drivers and support with lower range of reselling. Everybody could put their OS on machine that wasn't made by Apple.
    Even if Apple would made Macs on Intel or AMD, believe me you wouldn't run OSX on custom built PC.

    By the way it doesn't need much, to be better than XP, it should just work 6 months without reinstalling because machine is slower for 50% than fresh installed one.

    Yes, I hate XP, hell I hate even OSX.
    No I'm not interested in Apple, highly overpriced and slow hardware (got three of them, they are all new not some old ones), where your freedom is even more in question than with MS.
    No Darwin is not OSX, yes it's OSS and for PC but you practically can't get PC to run on perfectly, bad hardware support, and by the way Darwin doesn't make you run Aqua so you can forget OSX
    I know about fink, but to run most apps in OS9 emulation and others in XFree emulation, hell I'm gonna buy my self Nintendo.

    So for serious work in my line of bussines Apple and Windows are just sidewheel, but that's my own opinion.

    Wouldn't agree. Small fonts on WinXP look blury on WinXP (at least on my notebook, and yes I tryed all types of font rendering on windows), while linux displays them clear. When you enlarge fonts on windows results get better, but fonts become too big

    If it has come to some changes on XP I don't know, because it's a long time since I trashed them.
