That is important to some people. To some people, different things are important. For some people, religion is important. For others, it's science.

This... is no different.

--- Quote from: hm_murdock ---Why would you go to great lengths to replace OS X with something that is less? By leaving it in place, all you have to do is install a package manager, like apt-get, and install UNIX software. Then you run it.

Guess what? Go to an OS X machine and login as ">console"... and it dumps you at a text console! This is NeXTSTEP we're talking about here. It's a serious UNIX, and isn't meant to be taken lightly. This is the real thing... this is UNIX, not a *nix clone.

I just tried to login as ">console"

did nothing

cymon:
Are you set to login by entering a name and pw? Or are you using the pictures? It just worked for me.

Siplus:
with the login screen set to username/password entry, '>console' places me right back at the login screen (no error, and the login prompt does not shake as if you entered info incorrectly)

I'd call it morality rather than religion, I'm definetly a science man and definetly NOT a religous man.

I find GNU/Linux quite-perfect. Mac OS X doesn't offer any really good advantages over it for me. Even if Mac OS X was free, which OS I use might-just come down to a flick of a coin. Mac OS X isn't free, so I think I'll stick with GNU/Linux. It's the obvious choice for someone who likes to use a computer like I do and gives the slightest of shits about whether the software they use is free or not (and alot of people here do (not alot, but a bit), I think.).
