Come up with a catchy name, file for a patent and profit. Never mind that people have been using FreeBSD+X as a desktop OE for over 3 years (well, I'm speaking for myself here, but I imagine others have as well), there's money to be made! Now only if we could have our own proprietary hardware platform... ;) Seriously though, I've used FreeBSD/X (hey, neat name there ;)) for 3 years now without a problem. --Devon Person, Roderick wrote: >-----Original Message----- > > >>From: kitsune [mailto:kitsune@gmx.co.uk] >> >> >>>> FreeBSD 4.x: ~2M lines of code (including kernel modules) >>>> MacOS X: ~6M lines of code (not including kexts) >>>> >>>>It takes a lot of work to make a usable desktop OS. >>>> >>>> >>>But, isn't the majority of the additional lines dealing with the fancy >>>graphics stuff, what is it called cocoa/liguid/carbon or what ever? >>> >>> >>Yeah, but in this case that is the job of X and the toolkits and/or WMs >> >> >that > > >>uses X. >> >> > >So if we combine X with FreeBSD we've got a desktop OS :) > > > >Roderick Person >Programmer >personrp@ccbh.com >http://www.ccbh.com > > >_______________________________________________ >freebsd-advocacy@freebsd.org mailing list >http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-advocacy >To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-advocacy-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > > > >
