we are behind you all the way

o and your my hero

Nice :)

Like he said: Zeph you are my hero. Take your time, make sure you work out all of the bugs, and keep up the great work. As I said in a previous post, Bill Gates is probably already jealous of you. ;-) =)

Why isn't Mac OSX open-source? I means it comes from the same foundation as Linux, right?

magaargon, you said you will ban yourself...what happen?

ps: os x is unix not linux and not all linux distribution are free

Banned in discussions relating to Zeph's upcoming release from what I wrote. I can still help other people and myself you know.

All Linux Distributions that are Open-source are by law Free by GNU License. If Kernal is Open-source, should be free as well as everything is voluntary.

Megaargon, I tried the AMD Mac image too, and am on your side, I want it so badly. Be light with megaargon, I think he has understood.
I personally feel that the new image should come out today, but just be aware, you're not the only one that has free time in your life. People have other responsibilities too you know like taking care of family, and making money for home.

The foundation of OS X is open source. Darwin BSD. You can even download it off Apple's servers... somewhere.

Aqua (the Window Manager) and alot of the libraries that make a Mac work the way it does is Proprietary. And that's all the stuff that anybody really wants!

Will it work good on my computer???

My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite A215-S4767, it has 2 gb ram, AMD turion 64x2 Dual Core Mobile Technology, 250 gb HDD + 80 gb HDD (external), ATI Radeon X1200, 54g Atherols Wi-Fi (802.11b/g); 10/100 Ethernet; 4 USB, 1 FireWire, 1 VGA, 1 S-Video, 1 ExpressCard 34/54. 5-in-1 memory card reader, Realtek High Definition Audio ALC268

close.

All GNU Distributions are open source, because that is what GNU has declared as is purpose. Promoting and distributing open source software.

Not all open source is GNU, if you yourself create a truly new piece of software and patent it you can simply declare that it is open source, create you own version of open source license to distribute with the software and wallah it is. That after all is what freeware and shareware are! The reason GNU is such a presence is that many of the early UNIX developers believed in GNU so much that they gave their patents to GNU. So now GNU owns and has declared open source some very important software. Any time you develop software based on something owned by GNU you must accept that those parts of it are legally free and can be altered and distributed by anybody. Those parts, not the whole program. This is especially important because some very important pieces of most of the UNIX basic kernal are owned by GNU.

Not however BSD based UNIX, that is all under its own open source license.
