Now that Darwin/MacOS X is a member of the BSD community with especially close ties to FreeBSD, I'd like more information than I've been able to dig up via Yahoo! and http://www.apple.com/. In the short term what I'd like to know is how usable is Darwin. And how well its supports Apple's PowerBooks. Specifically the current model of PowerBook G3 333 MHz. All I've been able to find out so far is a statement that Darwin supports all the hardware Mac OS X does, and Mac OS X doesn't do "server" functions on PowerBooks. Disappointed because that sounds like a deliberate handicap worthy of Microsoft. Thinking after Christmas might be a good time to buy my first laptop and I'd rather have a dual boot MacOS/BSD system than a Windows/BSD system. And that its just possible Darwin will run better on PowerBooks than finding the right compatible wintel laptop for FreeBSD. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
