No Such Fight[Fwd] <BR>发信站: BBS 水木清华站 (Thu Dec 30 18:49:56 1999) <BR> <BR> GNU/Linux和BeOS有矛盾么? 看看下面的文章, 然后在看看读者的评论. <BR> 有兴趣您也来参与评论吧. 呵呵... <BR>===============Begin of post=================== <BR> <BR> BeOS vs. Linux? No Such Fight <BR> By Scot Hacker, PC Magazine <BR> December 8, 1998 <BR> <BR> My appreciation goes out to Cal Godot and Chris Herborth for their <BR> invaluable feedback on this journal entry and its accompanying chart. <BR> <BR> People seeking a serious alternative to the Microsoft and Apple <BR> juggernauts may become easily overwhelmed by the sheer number of <BR> choices they face. The OS Wizard in System Commander lists 31 -- yes, <BR> 31! -- different operating systems that run on x86 hardware (though <BR> many of these are subtle variations and versions, leaving around 20 <BR> truly distinct choices). If you're willing to buy a dedicated Apple <BR> machine or wait for MacOS X, you can add MacOS to the list, and there <BR> are several barely known alternatives that aren't included in System <BR> Commander's Wizard. <BR> <BR> Of course, it's craziness to even consider installing that many OSes <BR> on a single machine (though System Commander can handle it if you're <BR> feeling a little nutty and have gobs of disk space to spare). But most <BR> people looking to get OS Religion aren't crazy -- they're casting <BR> about for serious alternatives to the status quo for reasons I've <BR> discussed at length in previous Journal entries. Of those 20+ <BR> operating systems, only a few emerge as real contenders for most <BR> users, and from that handful of options, only two emerge as <BR> powerhouses in today's computing climate. I'm talking about genuine, <BR> realistic alternatives capable of handling a broad array of tasks for <BR> a broad array of users with the usual criteria: speed, efficiency, <BR> stability, customizability, a good upgrade path toward the future, a <BR> wide application base, a good support network, and a substantial array <BR> of supported hardware. The two systems I'm referring to are Linux and <BR> BeOS. Neither of them fulfill all of these criteria 100%, but they <BR> come darn close in various ways, so I want to spend a little time this <BR> month exploring their similarities and differences. <BR> <BR> Please don't get your underwear in a bunch if I don't consider your <BR> favorite OS a serious contender for new users of alternative OSes. I'm <BR> talking here about mass-scale, well-rounded, technologically <BR> sophisticated systems with a real chance of making a difference in the <BR> OS world, and while OS/2 or AmigaOS or Solaris (or whatever) may all <BR> be exceptional in their own rights, they don't represent the best <BR> possible alternatives for new OS users in 1998. <BR> <BR> BeOS and Linux aren't at war. In fact, they complement one another <BR> very nicely. These systems have evolved under very different <BR> circumstances, to meet very different needs. BeOS and Linux users <BR> share a common desire to see healthy alternatives flourish, and to see <BR> excellent technologies take root where the mainstream has failed to <BR> deliver. At the same time, the cultures surrounding them have <BR> fundamental differences. For the new user considering a plunge into <BR> alternative operating system space, I've summarized some of the major <BR> similarities and differences between BeOS and Linux culture and <BR> technology. A BeOS vs. Linux technology comparison chart can be found <BR> here. <BR> <BR>Similarities <BR> <BR> While both systems include a Unix-based command line shell, Linux <BR> users tend to be more avid hackers than BeOS users, while BeOS <BR> attracts a greater cross-section of the creativity / multimedia market <BR> (though both system attract geekier users than the mainstream OSes). <BR> At the same time, both systems are becoming easier to install, use, <BR> and configure with every passing release, making them progressively <BR> more attractive to mainstream consumers. <BR> <BR> Both BeOS and Linux are struggling for the recognition they deserve in <BR> what often appears to be a deaf and blind computer industry. Both BeOS <BR> and Linux are more efficient than the mainstream offerings, extracting <BR> far more performance from far less hardware than do Windows or MacOS. <BR> Both systems include technological offerings Windows and MacOS can <BR> only dream about, and users of both systems pride themselves on doing <BR> things right. Kludges and workarounds to compensate for the burden of <BR> the past are not welcome in either camp (though Linux bears more <BR> legacy weight than BeOS because of its heritage -- Linux began life as <BR> a simple port of an ancient operating system, while BeOS was written <BR> from scratch to take advantage of a high-bandwidth multimedia future). <BR> <BR> Both systems are POSIX-compliant (POSIX in BeOS is currently <BR> incomplete in a few areas and thus does not bear the official POSIX <BR>
