Thus we come back to the topic of the list--why not use Linux? You've got plenty of control, with that. > What I would love to see happen is Apple sell OSX, at a premium price, to be > put on any computer. They'll never do it. They like programming for their own hardware only, for the same reason console games are easier to write than PC games--if you only have to be compatible with one system, and that one system has really good specs, then you can write really awesome software that takes up lots of resources, and you'll only have to test it once (or for however many systems you have). But back to the first point, I really despise companies when they complain about X being too slow (let X be a computer-related resource), and I *know* it's because of Windows or (occasionally) Mac OS being the stupid kid in the back row. Every single time, it gets more and more annoying...and Linux isn't used because "no one is used to it?" Please. People learn more about their jobs than that, I'm sure "getting used to" different-looking window-borders wouldn't take much time, and it's worth it to prevent hacking. And for the sysadmin who did manage to convince the higher-ups, he gets to submit bug reports to the developers when things go wrong. It seems like a win-win to me. The business gets more reliable and more flexible systems, and the community gets more bug reports from that sysadmin. -- MarkTraceur _______________________________________________ LinuxUsers mailing list LinuxUsers@socallinux.org http://socallinux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linuxusers
