Journal bsharitt's Journal: No more Mac 2

Journal by bsharitt

Well atleast no more modern usable Mac(I still have about half a dozen 68k Macs). This week end I sold my my to to my brother, so until further notice I am no longer a Mac user. I won't be able to order my new computer(probably a cheap Wal-Mart PC) until this weekend, so for now all I have are these Sun terminals in the computer lab here at UAH. At least I was able to find Mozilla, because I couldn't imagine having to use Netscape 4 for an entire week. Now I just have to pick an OS for my computer, I have Red Hat 8, Slackware 8.1, Lycoris, Windows 2000, FreeBSD, and the thing will prbably come with Lindows.

  • Bummer you're mac-less; I've recently converted from Linux/FreeBSD/Windows, and couldn't live w/o it.

    May I suggest (For the OS) either Linux (Rhat, SuSe, Deb, or whatever else you'd like) with GNUStep/Afterstep (For the NEXTStep-Mac OS X-y goodness) or OBeOS (Open BeOS). Both are awesome solutions when without Mac.

    But for the love of god, don't stick with Lindows. It's ass.

    • Oh, forgot to say: GNUStep is nearly binary-compatible with OPENStep/NEXTStep apps, and remotely close to binary compatibility with Mac OS X apps. =)

      And OBeOS is cool.
