This guy haxd my css server..

PWN HIM AND SAY HI FROM the minigame eclipse :)

[fr0sth4x0r]

@TheXordinary done. he was in denmark. you rly didn't need to include a port number.

[fr0sth4x0r]

@TheXordinary dropped him a txt. nything else?

[rober98765]

same skin men! great people just ask DO you have snow leopard on your pc how??? XD five stars!!

[angrysausage123]

Is this lusty leopard?

[fosenteskotia]

I will never understand the reason for making your OS look like another OS. Linux, I love you just the way you are.

[Dojan5]

Yupp, the Kernel is fantastic, it is all you need. Right? Thats what you said!

[rollershoer4life]

Well I can see why if your coming from a mac. Im so used to my ibook, that it would be a more comfortable experience.

[donmei]

Applemac - Why would you hate linux?

I use XP at work, a mac at home. I've got vmware on both machines (fusion on the mac, ws on the pc) and have Umbutu linux running in a vm on both machines.

Great way to learn. no risk. I'm about ready to put Umbutu on an old pc see how it does on its own.

Its UNIX dude, with a pretty face. . .hmm sounds like OSX, doesnt it.

[applemac193]

I like the wavy windows but i hate linux... is there any way to make the windows in OSX wave like that???

[bft2310]

no there aint, and if you hate linux then you hate life, get a life mate

[applemac193]

I have a life guess who has a PhD? ME!!!

[Azraelthe7th]

I guess the real question is: "Why do you hate Linux?"

[Azraelthe7th]

If that's your response to an honest question, then I agree with bft2310.

[Iwillkillyou35]

You don't sound like you have a PhD. I bet you are just mad that you spent a ton of money on a Mac, while we who actually know how to use computers get a better operating system for free.

[leodime]

Macs can run Ubuntu. You just have to use the PowerPC version.

[Bodoparkour]

@ leodime, ou xan run linux on an intel mac. I've got opensuse on a dual-boot with OSx on my macbook

[PaRaSiTexX92]

I hate to disagree, but I prefer OSX to Linux. I love both though. Windows, on the other hand... *shudder*.

I think it's wrong to say Macs are a waste of money and Mac-users don't know how to use computers though.

[Dojan5]

Yeah, Mac are so powerful with its multiple processors. I mean, one for the sound, another for the graphic, and another for the actual computing. Imagine if they are dual or triple core too!

Mac's are NOT a waste of money, I would love to have one.

[an4rew]

Dojan you are such an informative noob!

[Dojan5]

Maybe I'm not an expert on hardware, but I am developing a Linux OS...

[tboANDfshady]

lol an4rew got owned

[Dojan5]

Yupp. He stopped replying ^^

[Nathan5763]

lol

[st1ckfigure]

What linux OS would that be? What flavor is it based off of? What parts are you modifying, exactly?

[dpopicu]

it's just ubuntu with win4lin theme and compiz activated

[st1ckfigure]

Sorry, dpopicu, I wasn't asking about the youtube video, I was asking Dojan5 what "Linux OS" he was working on.

[sp4mtard]

ubuntu! with compiz fusion enabled , and the mac4lin theme...

understand?

[zak9456]

*facepalm

It's Ubuntu with the Mac4lin theme enabled and AWN running. The only things that you change is the bottom bar and the theme, that's it.

[st1ckfigure]

Out of context, zak9456, you seem to be replying to a question about the video. I was not asking a question about the video. It's clear what the video is of. Dojan5's defensive claim about not knowing much about hardware was that he was working on a "Linux OS". Given that, it seemed like a worthwhile question to ask what exactly made his "Linux OS" so unique. I'm NOT asking any questions about this video. I'm NOT asking for instructions. I'm asking for clarification on a statement.

[zak9456]

Sorry, thought it was another noob coming to ANOTHER Ubuntu/Compiz video AGAIN asking about what it was.

[wjrneo2]

Actually price to performance Mac hardware is no where near the value of PC hardware. However, since its a closed platform very few drivers are needed and most of them can be developed in house by apple. So you really don't get the driver conflicts that one might with a PC system. Its possible to buy a 3ghz c2d, 4gb ram, and a mobo that will handle all of the daily chores for under $300, add in a decent video card and you've got one powerful machine for a few hundred less than a mac mini.

[Dojan5]

You can never get a Macintosh's performance on a PC though as a Macintosh have multiple processors handling different things.

[wjrneo2]

So do PC's. Load balancing is part of the kernel. Windows, OS X and Linux have it built in.

Different processors for different things? Well lets start with a PC then. PC's have a CPU, a GPU, and can even have a PPU for physics, than can handle multiple cores like a core 2 duo, or a core quad too. Macs and PC's can run on the same hardware. Go search up the term hackintosh. Its running leopard on a core 2 duo PC machine.  Works just fine, and is as fast as buying the mac, but cheaper.

[Dojan5]

Mac and PC can run on the same hardware, it is not entirely true. A PC IS the hardware, though I get what you mean, you mean that Windows can run on the same hardware as Mac and vice versa. I know about OSx86, however, my computer cannot run OS X due to lack of SSE on my CPU.

I personally would love to run OS X, but I'm stuck with OS9 on my PPC 5500

[liamdawe]

You Dojan5 and a complete moron and a fanboy by the sounds of it, a useless one too.

[Dojan5]

If you say so.

I'm not dissing PC, (even though I hate that PC is now adays = windows) believe me, I use PC every day, mine uses both Linux, Windows XP and Windows 7, I like PC, however, I prefer Macintosh.

Tell me what makes YOU so useful? I'm a student, and a software developer. I am sure more useful than a sports addicted weirdo like you.

Last reply to this thread as we've gone enough off topic as it is.

[joseph219]

I don't get why there is even still debate about which one is better anymore. really they are the same damn thing under the hood.

I have had OSX lock up on me MORE then Vista. MORE!!!!!!! Everything has problems.

[Bryantos]

12 year olds new to technology fuel the debate. =P

Go check out Chris Pirillo's chat room. Pedophiles would have more luck on there than they did in AOL chat rooms.

[gruntlover2]

@Bryantos im sorry but what the fuck are you talking about were not new to technology infact i wrote my own os and im 13 now

[rachelrose86]

i really dont see the innovation behind Apple... its just freeBSD with a pretty GUI.

[applemac193]

That comment made by myself was made about 6 months ago... so stop annoying me. I do not see any inovation in Linux! Linux isn't really that good if I cannot run compiz Fusion on a mid range laptop bought two years ago... it sucks. Another thing, have you people actually used a Mac for longer than an hour? You people do not understand the innovation behind OSX!

[rachelrose86]

who's annoying you exactly? I wasn't even talking to you... I was commenting in general... and yes I have used all operating systems quite fairly... Linux, Unix, OS X, and Windows... and where did I mention linux anywhere in my comment? FreeBSD isn't Linux, its a variant of Unix and while I agree that Linux isn't completely stable, the reason why OS X is is because FreeBSD is stable.

[bft2310]

a phd in ignorance yeah

[leodime]

Linux is great if you spend some time with it. People who don't want to learn hate Linux. and if you TRULY have a PhD in a technology field then you would be eager to learn a new OS instead of bashing Linux. Mac OS X is awesome too but why bottle yourself up in one OS for the rest of your life?

[applemac193]

I can see your point of view but in my studies I really have to say that even though Linux is based on Unix it isn't good. To be quite honest I do prefer Linux to Windows although I opt for Macintosh with it's good interface and security

[asphixmx]

I don't know why people insists in mac-looking to our beloved Linux. Tux has it's own personality! Get away from the apples...

[bft2310]

i know. I am a bit of a hypocrit cause i did that before to my Ubuntu installation, but now i have human and it kicks OSX's ass...at the time of that video i was really into Mac4Lin

[maw88ify]

@asphixmx Who cares if I use the Mac theme Linux is about freedom, and people like you don't seem to understand that... If I like to theme Linux and it makes my happy than who cares what you thing... It's my computer , and I should be able to do what I want with out you judging me...

[asphixmx]

@maw88ify

I'm not judging Mr., I am only giving an advice. I know a lot about freedom in GNU/Linux, so don't tell me "I don't understand". I said what I said because for me, it's not good to mimic a privative OS. Yes, with your computer you could do whatever you want, even being happy with those "customizations" showing being fan of the Cupertino Co.

[maw88ify]

@asphixmx Your right I have seen better clones. My Linux Mac theme looks way better than this. They need screenlet, Mac4Lin, AWN, compiz. Next they need ghex to edit the hex-code of

sudo ghex2 /usr/lib/compiz/libanimation.s­o

sudo ghex2 /usr/lib/compiz/libanimation.a

sudo gedit /usr/share/compiz/animation.xm­l

Then the also need GnomeDo as a Quicksilver equivalent, Moovida Media Center for a Front-Row equivalent, and a global menu... and a few other things to make it really look like a Mac..

[valvagia77]

hmmm

I thought you can put beryl (or other eye candy for your OS) on windows, linux and even mac.

I don't get it why people are showing how good linux or vista are..

it is not linux ore vista it is beryl or compiz. and that is pimping every operating system.

[ListItYourWay]

you thought wrong. Compiz is not available for Windows or MacOS (at least not yet). There are other Compisite Window Managers that are available but none of them are quite as feature rich as Compiz Fusion or as stable as Quartz.

[meox45]

nice desktop. i got over the i must make my computer look like a mac when i got ubuntu. but really  nice those mac4lin guys are pretty smart :)

[mikerbrant]

This is Ubuntu 7.10 with the Leopard theme.

[theinsane102]

what kind of linux is this anyone

[xMandalorex]

Were did you get that wallpaper? any chance you can send me a link to it?

cheers

also nice music. i have it aswell

[chiliadeyes]

I bought a MacBook SantRosa3.1 a week ago, just installed Ubuntu on it and fiddling with Mac4Lin, but some stuff don't work well on it. I read that Intel X3100 is black listed on compiz? I did have all the packages (Not Mac4Lin) in bits an pieces put together running perfect on Ubuntu on my Toshiba.

[cusbrar1]

ahem... I was a little off on that mac4lin is the theme for compiz and i beleve also gtk....

AWM is the dock.... looks a lot like kiba-dock however kiba-dock nocks the socks off mac...

[cusbrar1]

for all your information that is not "mac4lin" is just just a themed compiz-fusion (compositing window manager) to look like mac.... I have it running in even a minimalist distro like puppy linux... and a version is coming out with compiz-fusion built in... the dock is called kiba-dock and it has a physics engine built in... this video mainly does a great job at mimicing max os x but Linux can do so much more if you chooose

[frosty9595]

Why would you want something as stable as linux looking like something only slightly more stable than a windows computer? Feel free to scream at me for this because I scream back. ;-)

[jumboyd]

screaming not need.

thumbs down.

[DarkX1079]

Screaming is need. Thumbs up for frosty! XD

[DarkX1079]

needed*

[jumboyd]

Screaming is a need.

Just for babies, though. Sorry

[madkitty0]

awesome

[weezernod]

cheesy.

[evanjm]

Can't wait till the zoom is imporoved in AWN. Also, I think that stacks don't quite look as spiffy as in Mac but they have more usability in Linux.

[lopagof]

p.s. linux had stacks before macs did, except tey were called drawers and didnt look as pretty

same idea though

[evanjm]

Yeah, the drawers were always so ugly but are essentially the same concept.

[DarkStar851]

Linux had Stacks before Mac's because stacks were developed using the X server and not Macintosh's graphic server. Stacks are open-soruce ;)

[PhonicUK]

What's the music?

[sfgeek]

Nice Unbuntu and Compiz demo.. Looks exactly like Leopard in many ways, plus the rubbery windows and the zig-zag maximize.

I swear by my OS X and it's critical for what I do, but I'd love to switch to Ubuntu if I could (Frankly however, except for the weird new firewall, Leopard does all I need UNIX wise.)

[finferflu]

Very cool, any pointer to this Mac4Lin?

Thanks :)
