Could be, I have no idea why the original AT&T Unix forked. Doesn't really explain why it's called BSD though, which I think is Berkeley Source Distribution. Any idea what Berkeley has to do with it?
Coz the dudes at Berkely Uni developed it i guess!!
Nobody's voted for Mac yet? :(
As far as I thought, it was developed somewhere, then they gave it to a load of students at Berkeley and it went from there.Quote:

I haven't had much experience working with Macs (only used them a few times) but I recall that I didn't like the OS much. That was a long time ago, though, and I don't remember the reasons why. I just know it didn't impress me.
mac osx has cool graphics but it's so slow there's no functional use for it.
I only find their newest pc's beautifull to see, but I can't get their one-button mouse working! Perhaps I'm too much bonded (correct?) to Windows :mad:
DOS!
Think about it. In a film where you've got computers, you don't see them chucking up "Welcome to Windows" messages and going "Bing Bong" every five seconds do you?
And I've never ever had DOS lock up.
And I'm sure if someone thought it was a good idea it could be updated to run all the new gubbins that we get now.
DOS!
Simple, no nonsense, DOS!

Last week, a friend at school had a very funky version of Linux. It was nothing more than two floppy-discs: One for starting everyting up and one containing the FileSystem. Very Cool, but i can't remember it's name.
DOS is the best!!! it's the only OS that never created any problems for me. It's so polite, it will ask YOU to make the problems for yourself;)
Windows 2000 Pro for general use and
Windows 2000 Server for Development Environment...
Cheers...
i've heard of atheos and all those, i've done major searching and found that i like reactos, it's very cool and fancy.
There are a bunch of mini Linux distros that work like this, IIRC.Quote:
