    Actually, could an administrator please delete this thread, since some un-named people here can't handle it?



    Thanks!

    Why don't you just stop posting to this thread? If you just stop bumping your threads, they will eventually fall off the first page.

    Actually, you are wrong. People will keep posting, further animadverting Linux, and therefore the thread will continue to stay at the top of the board.

    Nope. People here like UNIX, and there have been many positive threads about UNIX here. The search page is your friend... What they don't like are your annoying posts. If you stop posting them, then they'll stop responding.

    animadverting?



    You are the one who keeps bumping, sir.



    Stop gasping for attention.

    Actually, this thread had potential until everyone got their undies in a twist. So he likes YDL better than OS X, and he posted it in the wrong forum. Lets string him up!!!



    He just wanted to let us know what he thought, but refused to back down that he was in the wrong forum and now he wants out but cannot find the eject button... <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laughing]" />



    Good thread, poorly executed.

    What's people's beef with YDL? It's a solid client/server operating system. It is loads faster than OS X.



    MoL will allow you to run classic Mac applications from within linux, but it's emulated. Expect 90% to real time speed at best.

    I'm sure it't "emulated". Just running within Linux.

    About MoL - I tried it once and it was kinda kewl, but I haven't used it since I installed Yellow Dog on my iBook. I have found that there are Linux versions of most of the Mac stuff. In fact, quite a few Mac programs are ports of Linux programs.

    This is so great! Competitive postings between Linux and OSX. Who would have thought a few years ago...even when we knew X would have BSD? Jobs did it right!



    Now I hope the UNIX crowd can teach us how to really even think more different!

    Wow, this is like arguing whether Slackware is better than redhat.



    Any how, Id just like to say that I find this great. Im planning on installing it on my old mac and trying to set it up as a server/firewall.



    Oh, and how 'bout we stop bickering and start debating? Man, the tempers are high on this forum. Its like this is where peaceful people go to releive their frustrations.

    :cool: I wanted to see if I could get my iMac to dail in and then share the connection with the iBook.



    I'm so ****ing sick of 9. I can't wait for something that wont crash when some Java goes south on me.

    Hey Scott, Mol isn't an emulator.. it is running PPC code on PPC processors. You can't run Mol on x86 for the same reason you can't run WiNE on a Mac.... They aren't emulators. Mol is more like a hardware abstractor for Mac OS 9.



    Oh, and Redhat is better than slackware!



    And yes, BSD certainly rocks too. I tried to get OpenBSD running on my Wallstreet today, to no avail (my hardware isn't supported). It turns out the guy who started OpenBSD lives here in Calgary in the SE, like 3 blocks from me! Weird.

    [quote]Also, edit /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 and make sure you are getting true hardware accel.



    Identifier "Card0"

    Option "UseFBDev"

    Option "Backingstore" #speeds things up by remembering occluded data

    Driver "r128" #Not fbdev!!! use "ati" for rage pro 64 bit hardware

    VendorName "ATI"

    <hr></blockquote>



    Hey FreshApple, was this necessary, or did your XF86Config-4 automatically detect your rage128?



    I ask because on my Wallstreet it defaulted to fbdev, which is hella slow (but 'safer') comparatively.

    I didn't say it was. I misstyped above. I was trying to say just that.
