but it's f... hard to get it working!

Really, it's only pain. After more than 8 hours I don't want to install a media center anymore. And like a lot of people, I wish to find a computer that is usable. A computer that wouldn't lose my time. I will buy an Apple as soon as I can, I believe.
I just feel like this woman (dilbert.com)
Ganymede, I should do like you and stay away from tv.
I completely agree with you. That's what bothers me too: Unusable systems. Portage is of course an improvement to package management, but I just don't have the time to keep track of all the issues and changes anymore. Do you think Apple has the solution? Hmm, but there's so much Linux stuff I can't live without.
ReplyDeleteThis cartoon really hits the nail on the head, great!

ReplyDeleteI think most GNU/Linux software compile correctly under MacOS as long as it is only a BSD derivative, am I wrong?
@raberalf:
ReplyDeleteApple is a FreeBSD system, most of the stuff using on a linux box you will get running on MAC OS, too. If not, you can install Microsoft Windows on the Mac and run Cygwin :-P
Sure, it will finally work. But again, you'll need libraries in different versions, dependencies and the like...
ReplyDeleteI don't know, but it would be interesting to hear about this szenario. Having everyday software managed by MacOS and some added GNU/linux tools.
