What kind of work would "the job" be?
I can agree that YDL has crashed on me many times in X (That's X11). But
Mac OS X is a major pain. I just came out of OS X an hour ago after
months away because I wanted to set-up my wife's email access with the
new Netscape for OS X or Mail, or something easy, fast, and stable (Ha!
Ha! Ha!). I tried stress-testing some programs but It was horrible to
the point that I can't do it again for another six months or so. I feel
bad that I have to subject her to that environment. My head hurts.
I do like the BSDs a lot--they are clean and simple by comparison. But
as much as I'm dying to migrate to a BSD as my primary system, Linux on
PPC runs more completely and faster than BSD on PPC right now, from what
I can tell. And I'm tired of relying on a vendor-supplied OSes like
Darwin anyhow, since there are user-designed, user-defined operating
systems with really free licenses, really open code, really open tools,
and really open everything.
