autoconf ? what's that for ? :-) OK, seriously, as I said this isn't the place for an OS/X vs. Linux flamewar. What you're saying is that the Mac sucks as an X11 development platform, I think I can live with that :-). You're also apparently expecting OS X to be Linux (i.e. you have to, or very much want to, use X11 apps only). I don't. A couple of points where you are totally wrong, though : > all the great open source stuff is X On OS X ? Two questions : - please name one of such "great OS X X11-based app". - what's the color of the sky on your planet ? 'Cause yours certainly isn't the same one as the OS X free software community, and since interplanetary Internet doesn't exist yet and I can download their stuff fine, they are earthlings. > you have to routinely run programs which "fix disk > permissions" (?) Yeah, that's one peculiar thing that still puzzles me. As ludicrous as it seemed to me, I figured I could live with it. Then again, don't most security check scripts on Linux run such permission checks ? I had that on Mandrake/Mandriva long ago. > It is a good Java platform though. Actually, Apple takes its sweet time to provide up to date Java releases, so that's one point where OS X actually sucks :-). > If you just want to use what you've given, the Mac is great, and > total eye candy.
