Apple say BSD is 3 times more popular than Linux on the desktop
Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, February 14, 2002 - 07:51 PM
Apple / Mac Anonymous writes "BSD is now three times as popular on the desktop than Linux, Apple's Ernest Parbakar told attendees at the annual USENIX BSD Conference yesterday.

That's thanks to Mac OS X, of course, which is a BSD-based Unix (although much of this remains hidden). Future Apple development would focus on looking for a better threading mode, and more Kerberos work including interoperability with Microsoft's Active Directory.

Speaking of which, Jordan Hubbard reminded attendees that Microsoft now has Office running on a Berkeley UNIX (noooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!).

"The Macintosh has always been very fascist, but we're now starting to embrace the diversity of BSD. We'd love you to bring your X11 application to Mac OS X." He cites XFree86 4.2 as a model of a Mac-friendly BSD app.

The full story is here."
