Ok so you dont know anything about unix, thats what
you are
saying here.
True, but considering most of unix was developed
in a educational atmosphere were only a few programs ran
-- text editor -- C Compiler -- TROFF at once because that all
a student or staff member could run because resorce limitations.
Its also apparent that everything you have been told
about it came
from those equally ignorant, they are all wrong.
What is true or false is not
important as this is the view I have
of the systems with the knowlage and understanding from what I have
seen.
Gimp dont translate to a tty very well, but an xterm
is certainly the
bitmapped representation of the tty.
BUT I MAY NOT WANT a bit map when running
under XWINDOWS!
I want a 80x25 screen (640x480) because I can read the screen for
text-editing!
No font's under X-windows (linux) would give me that!
Unix already has this X11 is a standard you can
run your sun apps
your irix apps your freebsd apps all on the GUI of your linux box all
at once. and last time i looked, all the other systems have adopted
our plumbing, not the other way around.
It is not the plumbing -- it is what
goes down the pipe that needs to
be standarded!
eh ? what would be wrong with a nice large 4096 x
3192 screen
with whatever size fonts you desire ? and the ability to populate
that screen with the workload of a whole stack of boxes.
1) Not everybody has the same standard fonts!
2) I like 1 screen 1 program and screen flipping.
"Well the end user experience" is system
agnostic except
for the winblows limitations that dumbs your system down
to the microset winblows can provide. unix has point and
click too, but it isnt implimented stupidly.
But the 3 button mouse is hard to find!
You would make a good leftist, the asurdity seems
high enough.
After 40 years waiting for public space travel, my faith in NASA
is wearing thin.
So utopian brainwashed fiction writers are now your
authority
on such things ..
Don't judge a book until you have read it!
Are you a moonie of Noam Chomsky too ?
Nope!
But I howl at the full moon now and then!
