Run your Linux like a Mac

No, but I guess you have Audacity.

the title is self explanatory

Quick someone has mentioned the word apple without proper permission... Call the blogg squad... But sir they only have a 20 minute response time, this will be too late, the blogg will be read by 1000s by then! we need faster action here... They also mentioned OSX... Its serious then... SHIT... this calls for drastic action... call Steve... get the whole internet shutdown now!... go go go.

And so endeth the linq...

I hope this doesn't spawn another ridiculous Apple "look and feel" lawsuit.

...and then watch the fur fly. :)

A few too many commas but an interesting pro-Apple post. And you're probably right, although it hardly matters because....

The first thing I did when I had my Macbook was change the 3D Dock back to 2D. In 3D on smaller screens you could not see the dot that lets you know the app is open and it did not look that cool anyway.

@ Daniel: "every time anyone writes a decent filesystem for it, the sick bastard will go mad and bury his wife in the woods."
Are you talking about Linux or Mac here?
Snow Leopard is going to provide read/write support to the 128 bit ZFS file system from SUN, Google it, nothing to sneeze at, that's for sure.

Last thing the world needs is another look and feel lawsuit by Apple, every Windows user still lives with the fall out from the first one to this day, the taskbar in Windows 95 was moved to the bottom of the screen at the last minute to avoid more look and feel crap from Apple. In the earliest versions of Win95 if you minimized a window, the outline shrank to the top screen and then the application appeared on the taskbar at the bottom of the screen, this was changed in later releases of Win95.

But to this day the Windows start Menu still works better from the top down than from bottom up, no matter the posistion of the task bar. Windows is still the most ergonomic to work with when the taskbar is placed at the top of the screen, because that's where it was orginally designed to be.

Bit misleading calling it a distribution considering it appears to be a Gnome theme. So it should work with FreeBSD in that regard.

Nick, you amaze me. Gnome is a knock off of the MacOS 7/8/9 UI and KDE is a knockoff of the Windows 95/NT4/2000/... UI.

Do you even think before you type?

Ah, the sound of a thousand lawyers turning on their cash registers!

"Open Brand UNIX 03 Compliant"

Ooh, you know buzzwords, too! Newsflash: GNU and Linux are the new POSIX and the new Single Unix Specification; the market decided that at the turn of the century; ask Sun and the proprietary UNIX vendors.

Oh, and you touched the bottom of the barrel with your despicable remarks about the Reiser case. When berserking in your fanboy rage, you might not want to detach yourself totally from the rest of humanity. For that, at least, you deserve the label of "cunt" more than Scargill does.

Nick, you only got a single mactard foaming at the mouth so far. Something's definitely wrong here.

Are you getting rusty, or what? :)

"...It won't support GPGPU straight out of the box..."

My Mac Pro won't, too, given that Apple has shafted most ATI-based Macs OpenCL-wise, thank you very much. The same goes for my friends' iMac bought this year. And the funny thing, OpenCL is a MULTIPLATFORM standard, so quite possibly we'll see in Linuxes pretty soon.

So...

Mac e linux, liux e MAc.
Thats way its so incompatible with so many things: for great hunger os myself, i have to admit PC is a free system, anda Linux and Mac a 'kingdom' for geeks, thats still under USA Departement of Defense.
I could go further: with good tools, like puty or PGE, they take more time guetting the information from a PC tha a simple, open source, linux or mac.
Its a kid stuff nowadays!

Time to go back to macdonalds Nick - you are losing the knack of annoying people and really thats about all your writing is good for. irritating mac users and boring everyone else.

Adobe Suite? Final Cut? Microsoft Office? Didn't think so. Nice try but no cigar.

Not quite matching products, but they come close.

Adobe suite GIMP, Inkscape, Xara Xtreme, A good text editor in place of Dreamweaver (WYSIWYG sucks :D )
For a flash alternative I'm not into that, can't give an alternative.

MSoffice OOo

Final Cut Kino

Failing that you can run Adobe Suite and MSoffice under WINE.
