Finally it looks like I'll be able to get a cheap box to run MacOSX on, but not from Apple! John Fraser is (sort of) getting into the clone business 5 years after Apple shut down their 3 year long 'experiment' in licensing the hardware. Based on off the shelf apple components in a custom pizza box style case with no bolted on display, a barebones 'iBox' will be around 300 USD and require a processor, disk and memory (and the OS). Complete systems (again, without the OS) should start at around 650 USD.

sounds cool....give me link to that product..

Too bad you can get a good PC with OS for $400 or less... :(

oh would it? why not linux? if it were a linux machine, it would cost the same and you would be able to put 100 bucks or so more/better hardware in there than if you used windows (oh yes, and a better operating system too, but you knew that...).

Linux isn't for everyone, including me.

Linux is the only OS out of the ones mentioned that is for everyone. Those other operating systems are only available for those who pay the license fee and sign an agreement promising not to share it with their friends.

Please don't start this all over again. Firstly, this question of yours is extremely simplistic! There are good and bad points in every OS other than windows, including OS X and Linux.
Secondly, such an "idiotic" question (no offense intended) will only get idiotic and immature answers, as has happened in the past!
Anyway, those of you who are mature enough, please do not take any time to answer such questions ever again. They are childish, simplistic and overly immature.
EDIT: And by the way, a small article about Apple and the "open source" community I wrote on my page. (http://promote-opensource.org/reviews.html#apple)

My question was in the wrong context. I meant "Are you saying that Linux is better than Windows, or are you saying that Linux is better than OS X?" His opinion was unclear and I was asking. I wasn't asking him "So, are you saying that Linux is better than OS X AND Windows?" Sorry.
:rolleyes:

except for the small problem that Linux is simply the hardest to use OS I have ever touched. Not to say it can't be made simple, for the basic user. It just isn't yet. I've tried many distros, RH 8, RH 7, SuSE 7.3, SuSE 8.1, Mandrake 9 (I think). and none of them were in my ability to use. I still have Red Hat 8 on my PC, but I never use it, I'm gonna wait for RH 9. I like RH the best right now because they use Gnome as their main desktop environment, and I like gnome better than KDE. Wow, I'm getting off topic.
The above comment about OSX and license agreements is true, but it comes with all Macs and only works on Macs. So any people that could use it, most likely have it already.
-
Dude, Linux is easy! My mom can use Linux, why can't you? ;) Get Mandrake 9.1, its r0xx0orz
-
Please. Don't try to deny it--OS X is way simpler and much more polished than Linux. It's a FACT.
Fool.

Nevair! Linux has the simplest interface ever. I mean, how simple can you get?:
[linuxuser@localhost linuxuser]$

I did NOT ask you if you thought Linux was better than both. When you said "it comes with a better OS", I didn't understand and I wanted to know what OS it was better than. I wasn't being a jerk and saying "What?! Are you saying that LINUX is better than OSX or Windows? Fool!"
-
i don;t know about other things but the reason i think OS X is best because it never hangs like win...haha...do you think win hangs or freezes your comp? i've restarted my my comp so many times that i get shit..haha..APPLE rules in looks and restarting comps..lol

Can someone kill this guy? Pleeease?!

That's exactly what I was talking about, when I mentioned something about immaturity. ;)
XP hater, I hold no grudge against you, so there's no reason to apologize. It's better though to avoid such question in these forums since you saw what happened. :rolleyes:
-
I want to know something... what question? Just curious if you're thinking the same way I am.

Umm. Drag and drop, single file Applications.
A systemwide interface
Easy file extention/app ownership setup
easy installation
central preferences app for whole system
etc
etc.
My favorite being the system wide interface and the single file apps that can be installed by dragging them wherever you want and then double clicking on them. Linux user, have you ever even used OSX to an extent or at all?
When you say your mom can use Linux, is that after you set it up for her? Using something after its all ready to use is easy. Setting it up is where I always seem to have problems with linux. If its, ./configure not working or rpm's not installing or programs in X11 crashing for no apparant reason. I'm sure once its set up its easy to use, but that is true for most anything.

I was refering to the question you first made which you later edited XP hater. For those who want to see XP hater's original question, I've quoted it in my previous post. Don't act like you don't know!

"Are you saing linux is better than OS X or windows?"
thats what I said. Now, at first glance it looks like I'm saying, in a threatining way, "What? Are you saying that Linux is better than both OS X or Windows?" and do the verb agreement, thats what i AM saying. But thats not what I meant.
Calum said that a cheap PC came with "a better OS". Because he just said "a better OS" and not "an OS better than OS X" or "an OS better than Windows" I wask asking which OS he thought Linux was better than. Dont you see? I was asking about WHICH OS not BOTH. I've explained this like three times. The proper wording is this, and this is what I should have posted:
When you say "a beter OS," do you mean better than Windows or OS X. Or do you mean both?
-
Ok, ok! We're both saying the same thing here. (http://smile.gif)
-
if you say M$ has good oss..then what the hell are you doin in this eradication..haha
-
Silent Warrior, can you please take a bit more time going over your posts before putting them up. I know you can be a lot more coherant than you have been lately. It don't take much, just an extra ten seconds to make sure that at least it makes some modicrom of sense.
-
Its kind of ironic because he's not doing what his sig says. Wierd.
-
i know what am i sayin but this site has lame mods and good stars...you people never gave good answers to users...someone said this website has 2000 users...but for god sake i never saw any normal user who makes posts and are ignored if they have made some posts...and they go away thinkin this site is bullshit...no good discussion.......i see only fuckin mods arounds here talkin bullshits...never on point..fighting...tryin to kick each others ass...useless monkies...and you know what? if you smalll amount of people want to talk such foolish things..then try sending mails to each other...and yeah..you all like humour..so send some fuckin laughin mails...alright...what do you say now...assholes...alright...if this is gonna continue on this web space then i will be out of here...and you will lose one more user....think of this now...and try to make up your mind good and send responsive postes...cause people are here to share ideas..not for fuckin there own ass up..
-
Why are you flamming, no one flamed you?
It was a simple request.
-
As a public service I translated Silent Warrior's speach from Mongoloid to English. This is probably what he meant:
I know what am I am saying but this site has lame mods. You people never gave good answers to any of the users. Someone said this website has 2000 users, but for God
-
dude..i got flammed cause there is no point in what these mods and good members are saying...what i saw on this site is...talkin about post is of one page and other things will take two pages...and you know what buddy..those things are nothing but pullin each others leg...when i entered this site...i gave respact and thought mods may be good...but later goin through posts i found...this is all shit goin on...tell me positive..am i not right?
-
You're just one big run on sentance. Plug in your stuff into open office or word or something and watch the red and green squiggles. Then do what they say.
-
what do you think? i have never seen anything? huh..?? never underestimate mods...i think better than this iswww.microsoft-murder.com (http://www.microsoft-murder.com)
-
Wow.
I couldn't write that bad even if I tried.
Silent Warrior, I belive we would all be quite lucky if you left. You are a pest, and you don't scare anyone by saying you'll leave.

Random thoughts by Macman: Apple should call the console they're undoubtedly designing secretly right now the iBox.
-
(Well, to try to make people talk 'bout the original issue to be talked in the topic...)
I think the prospect sound interesting, but at the same time I doubt it could be a big success or a full-fledged alternative to 'normal' Apple hardware. The reason is simple: How this person will evade or bypass Apple-protecting beasts (I mean, lawyers)? And what about the customer support? Since the system will be made with old Apple hardware, how this future 'company' will fix hardware problems, etc. if Apple is the only one that's making that stuff and (I think) they don't make parts from old hardware if it's the newer parts the ones that make profit for them?
But the concept sound interesting after all...
(If I commit gramatical errors, please excuse me. My English is a bit broken...)

i don;t know how apple hardwares are cool..but they have extra ordinary looks in what they make...
