Re: LINUX is the "one" ? .... Comments??? -- MIDRANGE-L

Xserve, yes. Lower price compared to wintel. But move to apple is more expensive than only replace m$ft software on existing intel box by gnulinux I think this is the raison why is difficult to apple to win market share in server side. But again day after day the demand growing. Running on macosx server with impressive perf. http://www.daugerresearch.com/fractaldemos/JPLXServes/ JPLXServeClusterBenchmark.html

See server and storage at :http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa

And soon ''panther'' next release of macosx after ''jaguar'' will probably run on power pc 970 64bit ''only to recompile''. (powerpc 970 support both 32 and 64) Clean an clear technology :) The''new based'' applications (binary from Risc after g3 on 1998) is a real advantage for apple. A rolls royce compared to wintel :) http://toulouse.amber.org/archives/002168.html

You do know Apple has a server right? I hear it is really good.

Yes, i think the perfect *nix system IS until now Apple.
Apple succeed where linux failed.(desktop computer)
Provide a fantastic user interface and developpement environment
in term of easy to use and really productive in developpement on top of
Unix.
Its not difficult to see the difference btw apple gui and linux gui
(kde, gnome, etc..)
All the linux applications which I use were compiled without problems.
Just ./configure, make and make install.
The product is here and he is called macosx.
If IBM succeeds in environement developing a window manager and gui of
the quality of
that of APPLE with new of development even more modern than that of
APPLE i say BRAVO.
But let us not forget that the technology of macosx results from Next
(1988), and that it was necessary thus 14 years so that APPLE become
the first Unix seller.
Day after day linux developpers change for macosx.
I think the alternative to m$ft for desktop computing is apple.
And for the server side is linux.
When ''as400 toolkit for cocoa''??

The base kernel will always be free. Anything on the top might not be.
There
could be another Apple out there designing the "perfect linux system".
