i just hope you can finally use a command line interface on the macOS with
X... i know X Server will run bash or csh or any other unix shell cuz it's
based on BSD, but how much access to the *nix layers does OS X "consumer"
allow? it would be soooo sweet to be able to have only one OS on my mac
for once. ( i use MacOS for MIDI/Audio/Graphics and LinuxPPC for
programming )
I dream of a world where GNU Emacs, Pro Tools and Illustrator can all live
in harmony with shared memory, a crash-proof microkernel, and true
multitasking.
*sigh*
