well yess, actually since ancient times:)
but also in supercomputing.
those cray supercomputer beauties had a big aquarium with something best described as indoor waterfall to cool the water back down
using gentoo on a risc processor kicks arse, those 231MHz can crunch numbers like crazy
Yellow dog is pretty nice (well the logo is) but your stuck with rpm hell,.. debian has its usual pro and cons,..
i had my gentoo system finished (base2 to X) in under a day , but i dont use gnome nor kde bloat so that will account for a lot.
My personal top3:
Gentoo
GNU/Debian
Yellow Dog
And ofcourse; if you're thinking bout alternative OS's on powerpc MorphOS should be mentioned
Next generation in computing,... ?
i believe mr Stallman was working on that for a while now
Maybe you know it running with that crippled kernel of that finnish guy....
Anyhoo, it runs everything and still is that next thing GNU/Hurd
Pity the GNU boyz have such bad taste in words / frases, with a bit better marketing, PR and commercialisme (Yuch, 3v1l words) We would all be talking about how NOT-Unix us GNUs are instead of how UNIXy we Linuxs be.
Owww, Now i get it,..

introduction
WSD, it seemes to be allmost forgotten here in the civilised worlds but here and there you still need to bring support to some legacy systems as the WSD-2K/XP or the even more archane WSD-03 luckally there ARE ways to allmost be as productive in your new login shell
CMD.EXE (aka Command Prompt or DosBox) as you where in your shell, *cough*
documentation When you expect your now fairly standard info, man and share/doc documentation you will feel, at first exploration of the DosBox 'help' function (C:\>HELP or C:\CMD.EXE/?), as though you forgot to install some packages, feer not! this only appears to be this way, the list shown here is the equivalent of your once so feared, loved and reveared {s,}bin directories.
most of these programs can be invoked with the ? argument to get there --usage statement
help background
help started as a builtin in the olden dages but has since been replaced with an utility much like the GNU 'info' program.
having a CLI widget interface which supports hyperlinking, ANSI and more,....
(damn shame there ain't much to hyperlink to;)
argument invokation
Once accustomed to using backslashes as directory seperators you might look back at previous example and see the frontslash (/) used there as a hyphen (-) to pass an argument to a program
eg $ ls -R == C:\>DIR/S
or $ ls -h == C:\>DIR/?
shell grammar CMD.EXE syntax does get more features every time they do the 'Even Better, Improved' thing;)
i even think they are working hard to get it to one of those POSIX-Level 1 compliant shells!!
It has been around for ages, so who knows, maybe the marketing reps will say go, and once again someone removes the/* from various lines of precious future customer satisfaction that "the customer just don't want right now (tm)", and have support for an already replaced by v2 arcane standard that, imho,is hopefully deprecated and (pray to Hasthur) soon replaced by something nice oo-ish or something....
loops, variable substitution, etc is not available when you run cmd.exe interactively.
but it can also be used to run stand alone shell scripts who are called *.BAT files.
In these files you can, for instance, use a FOR (C:\>HELP.EXE FOR) that looks allmost like but then completely different as a 'bash' 'for' statement
the CMD.EXE/? man page has more information on these SHELL BUILTIN FUNCTIONS
Compatibility
thank god microsoft has this funny view on backward compatibility layers, this, in their perspective, has nothing todo with protocols and such but with leaving _everything_ on the system,
anyone really did "START>RUN>progman.exe" or some other arcane 16bit app from the golden 3.11 ages on there sparkling new X-MS-OEM-Jailed box to really, really use it? "if it hasnt broke, leave it alone,and whatever you do, never EVER try to hit it harded"
Next Week
How MS Uses a 3 char string for all its EXEC, MIME and other needs. aka, why 640k would've been enough.
to be fair; you ofcourse also have.js.vbs.cmd.bat to run scripts from,
but then, this also seems to be true for.doc.xls.*.**.*****
Regards and GOODLUCK
(hehe, You DID already ported the servers to *nix with ACL's and stuff right?)
i think the easiest thing to do, is do it the 'rollyourown' way,
just make a big binary file that on executes checks its enviroment; what is my $PATH?, where is my ld.so configured?, am i root?, etc
then just extract your parts in the correct directories
if the software is good enough normally the community itself will mail you with packaging offers for various platforms
so finally the first unpatchable bug for NT4 is here.
i know i'm not the only greyhat who smiled when they heard of the patching-stop for NT4
aaaah, the joys of an nonsupported, yet still heavily used platform
happy cracking y'all
This is all just a plot to get tickets to YAPC::Europe
And a damn good one too, i'm going. Hope we'll get some scoop on this too
One year has passed since the last YAPC and they defenately confused me enough to make me want to hear The Damian explain it to me all over again, or anyone who understands it for that matter;)
Funny how he won over the complete hall of coders using only two words: "less chars"
if it really has to be solid gear there is no substitute for the real deal.

Now apple does make some very nice sturdy ibooks and some very nice looking titaniums.
