Operating Systems > Not Quite Mainstream OSes
New NeXTStep / OSX Based OS
hm_murdock:
sorry...
that was mainly caused by a lack of sleep and food :o
suselinux:
If you want to make this a commercial distro make people think that this system is meant for great computers.
Even if you drive a tercel like me your gonna want to use the motor oil designed for performance engines right?
If this was a linux distro that was comunity driven then I would say fuck you support everything, but if this a for-profit project then just support the computers that wealthy people already own.
my specs
AMD 1.3GHz
Sound card integrated on the mian board
Video card Integrated
Ethernet card Integrated
noticing a pattern???
I went out and said to the guy at a place called A-Power what is your cheapest system, and what is your cheapest 17" monitor.
and i got this web page
well that one from a year ago it's been upgraded since then......
So not even I would be using this OS, Besides how could I ever leave SuSE.
hm_murdock:
even if it were closed commercial, I'd rather sell it for a fair price and support a wider range of hardware.
but, it's gonna be open source, using BSD, and there'll probably be a "free" edition and a "boxed" edition
billy_gates:
I think "if" this goes commercial. Then we can start thinking about working on old card support. But in the beginning we should keep it simple. Geforce and Radeon support.
hm_murdock:
nope. sorry. wrong answer.
You won't want to sell it unless it's popular. It'll NEVER get popular with an "exclusive" mindset like that.
Trust me.
If people that don't have badass new hardware look at this and realize they have to go buy a new computer just to run it, they'll say fuck you.
They might as well go buy a Mac. I'd much rather them be able to look at this and say "wow, it's really badass, is based on legendary NeXTStep, and can bring some of the capabilities of a Macintosh TO MY EXISTING HARDWARE"
I still dont' see your reluctance to wanting to ACTUALLY SUPPORT PEOPLE! Why do you believe so strongly in having something that nofuckingbody will use? What is your obsession with turning this into OS X? I didn't ASK you to be a part of it, all I did was ask you if it sounded like a good idea. The only person I ever really talked to about it was psyjax.
I'd rather see the project never happen than see it ruined by such a crippling and idiotic decision
