COnfiguring modules and kernels to get multimedia working on linux is a pain in the ass, as well as burning CDs.<BR/>If you get yourself a good Graphics Card, you're not going to take the 100% performance nor features from it, cos linux drivers are reverse-engineered and cant suck all the power from the card.<BR/>I guess that using a MAC feels like "Peace of Mind":<BR/>-things work the first try<BR/>-doesnt hang<BR/>-fully multimedia<BR/>-(almost) no configuration files to tweak<BR/><BR/><BR/>and you have:<BR/><BR/>-a pure UNIX (freeBSD) with all your familiar tools.<BR/>-a great GUI<BR/>-almost all the software for linux works on MAC (if its posix, and there are emulators).<BR/><BR/>also the hardware design of the mac is insanely thought-of. its light, small, great screen, super-soft keyboard, great sound, wifi works great, battery last very long. Its just a great product.<BR/><BR/>now with leopard, I have DTrace, which is a GREAT software for developers that SUN invented. (someone's trying to port it to linux).<BR/><BR/>and I dont think its *that* much expensive. I bought a refurbished macbook pro, 15", 2Gb ram, core2duo, super graphics card. It was 2400 i got it for 1800.<BR/>The PCs I was looking at were around 1200 (vaio). the 600 euros gap is really worth it.eliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14290237548471298603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7090528059197437837.post-53094749674159069922007-11-01T08:53:00.000-07:002007-11-01T08:53:00.000-07:00I fear I'll be requested to register in the mailin...I fear I'll be requested to register in the mailing list and all the boring stuff, that's why I didnt do it at first and instead pasted the solution in emacswiki.org/something/aquaemacs<BR/><BR/>I just sent the email to aquamacs-devel@aquamacs.org, I hope the email is accepted w/o needing the registration step and so.eliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14290237548471298603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7090528059197437837.post-79818141608858758222007-11-01T02:32:00.000-07:002007-11-01T02:32:00.000-07:00Hey Eli, Why did you go to mac? you where in linux...Hey Eli, Why did you go to mac? you where in linux it was not ok for you? is just curiosity? are you becoming more "snop"?<BR/><BR/>mb (your primo.net)sibochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05413432892602276478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7090528059197437837.post-63506920400023983902007-11-01T01:01:00.000-07:002007-11-01T01:01:00.000-07:00Why not contribute your spanish keybindings back t...Why not contribute your spanish keybindings back to the Aquamacs project?
