You make me want to go out and pickup a titanium iBook, course, I've been drooling over those for a while....
A note on OSX Server and Open Source, there are few projects that ship with it by default. OpenEJB and OpenORB are used in WebObjects for EJB and CORBA support, so that explains them. I'm pretty sure Tomcat is there for the same reason, though I've never heard that first-hand from the WebObjects team -- never thought of asking. One thing of note is that in Linux it's fairly easy to upgrade the packages that ship with the platform by default. I'm not so sure it's as trivial in OSX Server. I'm interested to see where that goes.... -David > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, November 21, 2002 11:23 AM > To: Tomcat Users List > Subject: Re: MacOS > > > I dropped my PC for development work once I got on MacOSX > (Nope I'm not > aspiring to be in an Apple add) but it's worth exploring for those of > you who are thinking about it.
