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. |
30 |
|
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 |
|
40 |
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. |
