one example: I spent a weekend at a friend's house. he had a wireless access |
2 |
point which worked fine with my ibook in gentoo linux. I rebooted to show him |
3 |
what OS X was like, and the access point refused to provide OS X an ip |
4 |
address (dhcp). seems the dhcp server had a bug in the protocol. the linux |
5 |
network stack proved more robust. |

I can find no good free gps interface software in OS X, but there are several |

for linux. |

I know you can get the source to most of the OS X kernel, but can you actually |
13 |
roll your own kernel and still watch quicktime movies and such? Are there |
14 |
closed-source parts of OS X's kernel? I'm curious because I have some of my |
15 |
own custom linux kernel hacks which I'd like to try to port to the OS X |
16 |
kernel, but I haven't looked into it yet. |
