Bill Joy on Linux and Mac OS X 223
(rfm)2 writes "In a Wired interview, Bill Joy mentions he just got a new dual 2GHz G5 Power Mac with 8 GB RAM and half a terabyte of internal disk. He is clearly underwhelmed by Linux: 'Re-implementing what I designed in 1979 is not interesting to me personally. For kids who are 20 years younger than me, Linux is a great way to cut your teeth. It's a cultural phenomenon and a business phenomenon. Mac OS X is a rock-solid system that's beautifully designed. I much prefer it to Linux.'"

but; give me a dual 2ghz system, gb of ram, and a half tb or storage, and I'll love whatever it runs. I'd take DOS on a system like that.

I would love to have that amount of memory for KDE desktop, but unfortunately i only have a gig and a half and am therefore 'forced' to use xfce [xfce.org]
Such is computing for the impatient ...

I just wonder how long it will be until that is a small amount of RAM. It's currently a large storage array, but even I can remember when computers with 1 Gig of storage were reserved for profitable purposes only.

Oh dear C.G., you have to remember that some people, and higher primates, never evolved beyond the single mouse button...
Maybe your fingers aren't fused together like a flipper, and you can actually use 3 buttons, but that's _just you_.
