http://www.mit.edu/people/wsanchez/papers/FREENIX_1999/ 'Perhaps Apple could take NetBSD, clean up the Power Macintosh support, stick an Apple logo somewhere, and call this great thing "Mac OS X Server". But then, if you are looking for a good Unix server, you don't need Apple. You can instead quite readily install a NetBSD system on your Macintosh, or (gasp!) a PC, and carry on. We know, in fact, that this is satisfactory for many users. On the other hand, we also know that many of our users would not consider such a thing. Apple's interest in BSD, therefore, cannot be as a replacement for Mac OS, but as a foundation for the rest of the system we provide: a polished, well-designed user experience. Apple can provide to its end-users a great deal more than current Unix systems offer. Our users expect a system that is easy to understand and use; one that is friendly; one with some style.' -- ---> jabtronic / http://commie.oy.com "We Make Listening Complicated!" (tm)
