MacOS X (which is much better for -surprise surprise- non-server users) looks like it may present some new challenges. But it's also newer technology (with more benefits from MkLinux and Darwin than MacOS X Server currently has). I'll keep folks posted.
It's *really* a Workstation OS, not a server OS. Despite my love of Linux, there are "creature comforts" in MOSXS that simply aren't there on Linux yet. Like a decent diagramming program (Glyphix). Or a decent Entity-Relationship modeller (EOModeler). As that's what I'm doing for a good chunk of my day, MOSXS makes sense. Plus my coworker toasted her Blue & White G3 with a LinuxPPC 5 install and I'm waiting for her to fix it so I'm sure my install will work. :)
And ANYONE with knowledge of how Openstep framework packages should be set up (when you don't have the luxery of making a Framework project in ProjectBuilder) I'd be delighted to hear from. ObjectiveEverything keeps its regular Python 1.4 libraries in such a Framework and I'd love to hear how to keep the two both together and seperate.
Some of the GnuStep people MUST know this. I do know that almost everything is really text-based (as is the Unix convention). I was able to successfully edit EOModeler models last year (after a few bad trials). Also, some of the key developers (like those at Omniweb) would know I'm sure.
And anyone who knows why I have common symbols that are not allowed with MY_DYLIB output format, I'd also love to hear from. ;)
