Why I ditched my Mac for Linux
Why ditch anything for Linux? Why not use it in conjunction with
Linux? For example, Linux had been running on Mac/ppc for like eons
now, so I feel there are plenty of people dual-booting MacOS-Linux.
I still want to check out Darwin a little. It has me curious, as it
features the Mach kernel running in conjunction with BSD.
That's because you, Donn are reasonable.
Most people are reasonable.
COLA nuts, for the most part, are NOT reasonable.
It's Linux and open source or nothing for some of these jokers.
Some will accept things like BSD and even to a small extent OSX, but it's
really a front they are putting up by pretending to accept those
operating
systems.
After all, in their warped little minds, ANYTHING has to be better than
Windows and they need all the support they can get in their war against
Microsoft so they don't want to alienate anyone from the other non
Windows
groups.
Well, BSD people can be like that too, as well as Mac people.
Ain't that the TRUTH!
I've had my runnins with a few Mac folks as well. Some claim to be
developers, but when you confront them that root and sudo aren't enabled
out of the box, you get flak! I've already proven to them that root
is not enabled by default and forces the end user to look up on how to
be root... which is a sane way of forcing someone to read.
Recently
most Linux people have been pretty reasonable here. I was always pretty
reasonable until I would get "triggered" into a fit of rage by something
like Charlie or Bailo posted here. Oh yeah, and BSD still doesn't have
a journalling filesystem yet. ;-)
That's odd. OS X does have a journaling filesystem. What I find is
that OS X is way in front of Windows anything. Yet you'll find the
naysayers in other newsgroups denying this fact.
By going thru the latest UNIX programming book by Stephen A. Rago,
you'll find Solaris, UNIX, Linux and OS X in there. So far, I can't
really find any major differences.
Well, FreeBSD has been able to read
ReiserFS r/o for quite some time. It'd be very interesting to see if
it's a matter of time until they get the writing part working. But in
the past, writing to an ext2 filesystem from BSD did result in some
occasional nasty filesystem damage. But I think that's more of the
developers not having enough resources to commit to maintaining the ext2
fs coide.

Where are we going?
And why am I in this handbasket?
