Letting the World Know : Comment 189 of 216 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Iggy Drougge on 20-Nov-2002 22:27 GMT | In reply to Comment 161 (Rumel): I've never once felt a need to criticise the Amiga's filesystem support. Few OSes can contend with the plug'n'play (ooer!) filesystem concept of the Amiga, along with its separation of physical devices and volumes. And though I think it's not a very sound choice to further develop FFS, when there are two much better filesystems available, one even as open source (SFS), there's nothing to stop me from installing SFS on my drive. I do think that FFS could be a bit embarrasing, though, if they haven't done something about the filename length limitations, something I sincerely doubt since Hr. Barthel seems to be primarily concerned with compatibility.
As for networking, we could demand higher integration, but Roadshow, or OnRamp, or whatever it's called, doesn't look that bad, and certainly not technologically inferior to any other OS, considering it's based on rather recent BSD sources. It just needs a good interface to the environment and the user to look good enough.
I still don't consider networking or filesystems any problems, especially since both components have been exchangable for a long time, and probably will remain so, and considering what awful FSes and surrounding mechanisms 99% of the world's computer users seem to be happily troddling along with. |
