allocation and
management scheme, it tends to crash less than Windows simply
because we're not shoveling (as much) badly written software in it.
No argument there at all. But 9.1 broke all my old software, like
Stuffit... And it is sooooo slllooooowwww.... 8.1 is my favorite for actually doing stuff, with
6.0.8 as the
aesthetic winner.
If I ever get around to talking one of the Macsters here into letting
me evaluate X.1, I'd like to try it. Assuming the OldWorld hacks for
OSX still work. (We're talking about an 8500/180 in a 7200 box....)
I'm itchy enough about the OldWorld hacks (especially with my precious 7300)
that I'm not willing to try OS X on my OldWorld Power Macs. Since I plan to
buy myself a top-o'-the-line Power Mac when I graduate from medical school,
I'll be using OS X eventually, but the 7300 will probably be my main machine
even then out of habit.
Have you tried
A/UX? Note to those who asked: I got it working! Mail me
for details if you want the steps I took (YMMV).
Got it up & on the local network on a Quadra 650, up without ethernet
on the SE/30 (this weekend's project is a SLIP server for him.) and when
I pick up the IIci, I'll probably put MacOS back on the Quadra so I can
play with the DOS card.... I'm seeing a lot of A/UX influence behind
user-space Linux.
In what way?
