Hi all,
I have to say that when I read this about DRM and Apple Intel
machines:
http://apple.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/08/01/0421248&from=rss
it made me realize even more so how important it is that GNUstep
continue to rise to the forefront such that it can be installed on top
of open source systems to avoid nasty DRM!!!
That reminds me...
A few days ago I read an article mentioning, among other things,
GNUstep and
how 'cool' (my choice of words) it would be if/when/whether 'these
guys'
(ie. the developers of GNUstep) would decide to put GNUstep on top of
their
OWN operating system instead of 'screwing around with existing systems
resulting in symlinks all over the place' (again, my choice of words)
and
'imagine GNUstep on a Mach based kernel.'
My first thought was along a distribution based on (Open)Darwin.
However,
with respect to the recent news about Darwin/OSX x86 and DRM, I guess
this
would be a 'no go.'
AFAIK, xMach is dead :-( So does anyone know how far Hurd is with
respect to
usability?
