Rat says BOTH. :) <BR>发信站: BBS 水木清华站 (Thu Dec 30 17:48:59 1999) <BR> <BR> 呵呵, 希望能够对我们有所启发. 我是两个都安装了的说. 真的很cool!!! <BR>============================================================ <BR> Linux and BeOS <BR> <BR> by Phil Hughes <<A HREF="mailto:phil@ssc.com>">phil@ssc.com></A> <BR> 20-Dec-1999 <BR> <BR> A preview and summary of the December 21st episode of Phil Hughes' <BR> weekly radio show featured on Biz Soup. <BR> <BR> Linux and BeOS are both getting close to 10 years old, but they have <BR> very different histories and are quite different products. The one <BR> thing they have in common is they are both alternative operating <BR> systems. Rather than looking at them as competitors, let's explore how <BR> they can work together to satisfy the needs of a greater audience. <BR> <BR> Linux has proven itself to be the fastest-growing server operating <BR> system. Its reliability and performance per dollar have helped it get <BR> there. Any objective viewing shows Linux as the best choice in the web <BR> server world, and its support of the SMB, IPX and Appletalk protocols <BR> makes it an excellent choice as a file and print server in a mixed <BR> environment. <BR> <BR> Linux has also made great inroads into the desktop environment. With <BR> the KDE or Gnome GUI and office applications such as Applix, <BR> WordPerfect and StarOffice, most users familiar with any GUI-based <BR> system can comfortably use Linux on their desktop. <BR> <BR> In previous columns, we discussed how Linux is a multi-user operating <BR> system, where you generally work in a peer-to-peer environment. That <BR> is, any Linux system can be a server or a client. While this has lots <BR> of advantages, it does have one disadvantage: administration of a <BR> client is almost as complicated as a server. <BR> <BR> Enter BeOS, an operating system designed to be running on a <BR> workstation. BeOS is not multi-user, but it is multi-tasking. To make <BR> matters even more interesting, the GUI is part of the operating <BR> system, rather than being an add-on like X is with UNIX/Linux or <BR> Microsoft Windows is on MS-DOS. What this means is: <BR> * the user interface for applications is consistent, because it is <BR> part of the OS; <BR> * system administration is simplified, because there is no <BR> multi-user configuration and there need not be any server <BR> configuration; <BR> * GUI performance is excellent, because the layers of overhead <BR> associated with translation of GUI functions from the application <BR> to the OS are eliminated; and <BR> * writing GUI-based applications is simplified, thanks to a very <BR> clean Applications Program Interface (API). <BR> <BR>Linux and BeOS Working Together <BR> <BR> What all this means is that BeOS offers easy-to-configure clients with <BR> excellent performance. BeOS includes a POSIX-compliant command layer, <BR> meaning anyone familiar with Linux or UNIX can bring up a terminal <BR> window and use their favorite program--whether it be ftp or vi--and <BR> those who want a GUI interface won't be disappointed, either. <BR> <BR> With NFS available for BeOS (for free), a Be workstation can be <BR> connected to a Linux-based network and just look to Linux like any <BR> other workstation. For the home user, BeOS connects to the Internet <BR> with virtually no effort, making it an ideal home system and offering <BR> home users the same system they have on their desktop at work. <BR> <BR>What's Missing from BeOS <BR> <BR> This may sound like a rerun of Linux statements, but the answer is <BR> applications. Link any "new to mass market" operating system, and it <BR> is going to take some time to catch up. The only office suite <BR> available is GoBeProductive. Netscape isn't there yet, but with Be's <BR> recent announcement about working with Sun Microsystems to add Java <BR> support to BeOS, I expect Netscape is not far behind. <BR> <BR> In the last six months, BeOS has gone from a virtual unknown to a <BR> serious alternative operating system. Moving into the OS market on the <BR> coattails of Linux and in an environment that finally supports <BR> alternatives to the Microsoft answer, expect BeOS to get its <BR> applications out a lot faster than Linux did. <BR> <BR>Recent Announcements About BeOS <BR> <BR> Part of what supports my assertions regarding Be's growth into the <BR> mass market is related to recent announcements. Here are a few: <BR> * Be Announces Software Licensing Agreement with Compaq that allows <BR> Compaq to pre-install and distribute Stinger, the code name for <BR> Be's software platform for Internet appliances, on future Internet <BR> Appliance computing devices ... <BR> * Be and Opera Software Team to Enable Rich Web Content On Internet <BR> Appliances <BR> * Be, Inc. and SSC announce Be Magazine ... (yes, that's us; the <BR> first issue will be out in March, 2000. <BR> <BR> Another rumor which surfaced last week was that Red Hat Software is <BR> planning to buy Be, Inc. We all know Red Hat has been seriously <BR> shopping for companies to buy, with Corel and Applix counting as two <BR> other recent rumors. While nothing is confirmed, this seems very <BR> unlikely, as Be, Inc. has always said it will be independent. When the <BR> rumor surfaced, hundreds of members of the Be community voiced their <BR> opinion--an overwhelming "no". <BR> <BR> Tune in to the radio program on Tuesday for details. <BR> <BR> Copyright C 1999 Specialized Systems Consultants, Inc. <BR> _________________________________________________________________ <BR> <BR> Tell us what you think of this article ... <BR> <BR>================== End of posting =============== <BR>-- <BR>|======================+========================+====================| <BR>| 以无法为有法 , | 拳本无法,有法也空; | 我爱GNU/Linux, | <BR>| 以无限为有限 | 一法不立,无法不容。| 因为我爱自由! | <BR>| | | | <BR>| 截拳道宗师-李小龙 | 意拳宗师-王芗斋 | 土人 Linuxrat | <BR>|======================+========================+====================| <BR> <BR>※ 来源:·BBS 水木清华站 smth.org·[FROM: 202.112.168.252] <BR><CENTER><H1>BBS水木清华站∶精华区</H1></CENTER></BODY></HTML>
