I was discuting with a friends who is a good hackers on the "Why Win95". The main reason I was saying was: There is no default GUI interface Well, he reply than there was Xfree86. Well, its not default and it take a lot of memory, specially with KDE :-). So I ask him on IRC "Can we do a very *basic* GUI interface, who is implemented in the code of FreeBSD, who use mouse and who is in *greyscale* or *black/white*. Like when you log, FreeBSD ask "load GUI Y/N". Well, he reply: "Unix need it" and: *** K-log has quit IRC (porting W) I have thinked to that when I look around *moused* and when I read about a 1986 (I think) NeXT product: A 21" monitor greyscale with a fuly GUI interface. I think it was sold more than 15 000 $! 10 year after that, Unix have no basic fast GUI interface... Well, maybe other Unix, I dont know cya Malartre -- -------------------------------------------------- malartre@aei.ca ICQ #4224434 www.aei.ca/~malartre/ FreeBSD 4 Newbies project Windows_95-B Unix FreeBSD-2.2.6 -------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
