| 600135 | 2007-10-12 08:54:00 | Very true although there is a difference between a Mac/Unix admin user requirements and a designer or Mac Op production. The only other person who would need to use the terminal in would be the prepress department. regular users don't need it. I gather Apple has endeavoured to enable most of the server functions via the GUI rather than the Terminal. Will be interesting to see what Leopard server is going to be like. what does prepress use the terminal for? |

| 600136 | 2007-10-12 09:22:00 | what does prepress use the terminal for? From what I have seen, print que logs and setting up watched print ques from multiple users on a print server. Being that I was only a Mac op production it was out side of my area. |

| 600137 | 2007-10-12 09:58:00 | well, its just personal choice really, i use windows and have used and have linux just incase windows mess up and i need to access my files. the winmodem thingy i dont thing its an issue since most people i know use broadband anyways. who uses dial-up these days ? lol the only thing anoying to me is that all this linux distros update almost every month, and if you are excited just like me you want to try the new one always and its basicly waist of time. For now i have Linux on my usb pen drive and use it when i need it. |

I personally have broadband, but quite a lot of computers I see in this area use dialup and still run on 98 |

| 600140 | 2007-10-12 20:44:00 | Did you forget Vista Thats nothing New - that always happens when a New OS arrives. The exact same problem happened when XP came out, many programs didn't work on XP that worked fine on 98. Same story - different year that s all. And Linux is the same - it takes time for manufactures to make drivers for every New OS. Hell a lot of security programs still dont work on Vista and its been out how long now ? |
