10.4? or 10.3?At anyrate, OSX is very slick, there aren't very many things about it that I don't like. My mother has a eMac, and it's pretty nice I have to admit. I'm considering a Powerbook as I think I'm going to be in need of a laptop next year for school. I finally decided to go to a conformist factory (aka University), I just need to get accepted first. -------------------- “I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road.” “Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.” --Dr. Stephen Hawking.

I think they actually have WillyT. I seem to remember somebody telling me about a new project like that, but I can't remember what/where.I have come across one major annoyance with OSX though. For some reason my mother's machine sees her USB printer, but absolutely will not print to it. It's not the cable, nor the printer.

I run both Knoppix and RedHat on various test machines here, and have used both GiMP and WINE in the past. One was so featureless that it was useless for anyone more skilled than a hobbyins, and the other was so incredibly slow that I felt like I'd timewarped back to the 486 days.
I'm left to assume that you haven't looked at *either* in quite a while, as they have both matured considerably in the past year. Besides, if they're lacking features, no one is stopping you from adding them. Unless you're unskilled or just lazy.. Good to have you back -------------------- http://quake2world.net
