Actually, Linus didn't really say much about OS X/Apple, he was more or less saying that mach is crap (actually, those are pretty much his exact words) and that apple was stupid for building on top of it. Of course, he's a guy who almost failed an OS Design class, so maybe his opinion doesn't matter <g> As someone working on a Mach-based OS, I found his lack of information/clue to be funny. /joseph -- Joseph Mallett Security Specialist jmallett@newgold.net www.newgold.net irc.newgold.net/#xMach xMach Core Team jmallett@xMach.org www.xMach.org On Fri, 6 Apr 2001, David Kelly wrote: > Joseph Mallett writes: > > No, if he was doing his best, he'd actually make up some of the ways Mach > > managed to mess up. > > The author of the article contributed his part and demonstrated Linux > bias by presenting everything Torvalds said as the bald truth.
