If the user wants to download it. It really isn't a big deal. If you think about it your way Ubuntu would be a massive 10 - 15 gb install too.<br /><br />You don't do fact checks hey?BonghornLeghornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01452566744419182613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2842646859245542931.post-81120254461016793882010-06-02T08:41:18.819-04:002010-06-02T08:41:18.819-04:00http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2009/6/26/134033/785...<a href="http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2009/6/26/134033/785" rel="nofollow">http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2009/6/26/134033/785</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2842646859245542931.post-78662089108913865162010-06-02T08:40:52.130-04:002010-06-02T08:40:52.130-04:00http://www.linuxtoday.com/news_story.php3?ltsn=200...<a href="http://www.linuxtoday.com/news_story.php3?ltsn=2009-06-30-028-35-OP-SW-DV" rel="nofollow">http://www.linuxtoday.com/news_story.php3?ltsn=2009-06-30-028-35-OP-SW-DV</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2842646859245542931.post-68024517303688801322010-01-25T22:32:52.827-05:002010-01-25T22:32:52.827-05:00hmmm, you rather don't understand the nature o...hmmm, you rather don't understand the nature of the GPL. please do some more reading on it.Evan Clintonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05744141127901057725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2842646859245542931.post-30978206624198730992009-08-12T16:19:18.950-04:002009-08-12T16:19:18.950-04:00Just wondering... take XNU/Darwin and create an GN...Just wondering... take XNU/Darwin and create an GNU-userland around that... who could make such a thing happen?<br />- RalfAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2842646859245542931.post-29011476256629520702009-07-15T20:33:11.487-04:002009-07-15T20:33:11.487-04:00I honestly don't know what the capabilities ar...I honestly don't know what the capabilities are in Linux, but on recent versions of Mac OS X, you can live resize HFS Journaled partitions if there is enough space to do the move.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2842646859245542931.post-54605623651553000442009-07-08T22:56:22.243-04:002009-07-08T22:56:22.243-04:00It's about using the correct tool for the job,...It's about using the correct tool for the job, not picking a tool that is inadequate because you like it. I'll admit Linux is ahead of the game when it comes to advanced features, however for some jobs I use FreeBSD instead (or other OSes) simply as they're better suited for the task at hand. Most of the people against not-Linux never have really given it a go to find out if it works for them or not.PChttp://philip.onetwenty.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2842646859245542931.post-14744253079433823132009-07-06T22:02:28.956-04:002009-07-06T22:02:28.956-04:00I could care less about all this crap.

Where's the decent logical volume management or virtualization in freebsd? I've been waiting for years, and haven't seen anything!<br />Linux has lvm and evms. Freebsd has what? Vinum? Vinum is a joke for flexibility. I need to be able to dynamically grow and resize volumes without downtime.<br />And what about virtualization? I've long ago lost track of the options available under linux. What does BSD have? Jails...is that it? I know macosx has parallels and vmware fusion, but those are desktop products. Where's the serious server virtualization?<br /><br />You guys bitch and moan about Linux zealots, but atleast they're banging out usable features while the bsd guys sit in their corner bashing everyone else.<br /><br />Show me the usable features and stop bitching about zealots. And why do I never hear the term BSD or Mac zealots...You guys are just as rabid as the Linux zealots you bash. It's funny, how people hate the people they're the most like :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11094131631573666709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2842646859245542931.post-73317920854121460712009-07-01T23:00:22.995-04:002009-07-01T23:00:22.995-04:00Good post.

IMHO the Linux kernel is not what any sane company would use for a reliable kernel since the myriad configurations and hacks and add ons (all in some unGodly combination) would throw reliability out the window as well as lose a lot of features we take for granted on Macs these days.<br /><br />In general I view the usual "Swap Darwin for Linux" argument as the usual zealot excuse for "I like the Linux kernel, don't know much about it but everyone else should use it" without actually having tried any other kernel or OS like FreeBSD extensively.<br /><br />Usually the same people scream how microkernels will slow your computer to a crawl, debugging kernel modules with hard crashes and post-mortem substandard crash dumps is for "real men/programmers [re: masochists]" and that C (and its ilk) is -the- programming language for anyone who programs.<br /><br />I've given up even debating the point unless someone has bothered to bench test FreeBSD at least, it's just not worth it.PChttp://philip.onetwenty.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2842646859245542931.post-34721044391305360612009-06-30T13:49:06.196-04:002009-06-30T13:49:06.196-04:00Seriously, who has ever seriously suggested that A...Seriously, who has ever seriously suggested that Apple would or should replace Darwin with Linux?<br /><br />Up next: A six-page dissertation on why a PETA-operated steakhouse would never be financially successful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
