[Coco] KIDS REACT TO OLD COMPUTERS

[Bill Nobel]

Try again look at this link

http://www.opensource.apple.com

As of 10.0 the converted to linux for the WHOLE os.

Aqua is the framework apple uses much like .Net

Explain then why X11 is present in OSX, and ALL linux commands are there.  When Apple move away from the Power PC they converted to linux. They used BSD’s Darwin as the start.  Being ACMT you should know this I have taken any compiled linux code from darwin/intel and use it on my Mac no conversion necessary. I also am ACMT.  I do drop to terminal lots and use all linux commands to get around.

It is mostly proprietary, other than the parts it has in common with Darwin. There was talk about using Darwin to make an Open Source clone of OS X, but as you can see, it never materialized. Replicating Quartz would be a non-trivial task.

Before my disability, I was an Apple Authorized Service Technician (since 1998), and had the MacOS X Server Support Desk certification. I deployed and supported OS X Servers in the Philadelphia school system in 2004 and 2005.
