You do not have a clue about what you are talking about. OS X is based |
| 28 |
on NeXTSTEP which happen to work well as a server OS - I had run 1000's |
| 29 |
of users on NeXTSTEP for years with no issues. |

|
| 31 |
If you would like to talk about the strengths and weakness of the MACH |
| 32 |
kernel and the micro kernel or BSD networking vs. the Linux way, would |
| 33 |
be happy to take that off line and do so. However, your response at the |
| 34 |
point reads like dumb-ass flame bait. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
And what is this "true unix" you are talking about? If you want to get |
| 37 |
down to linage OS X has a better path back to the original *BSD unix |
| 38 |
then Linux does. Hum, "true unix" - what a strange idea. |
| 39 |
|

I run and like Linux but it has it issue just like the rest. Linux would |
| 41 |
be better off without your kind of religious zealot behavior. |
