AmigaOS on Tour 2003 : Comment 28 of 86 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Some Farker on 19-May-2003 00:51 GMT | In reply to Comment 25 (Atheist2): "At long last, if this news is correct, a REAL OPERATING SYSTEM will become available. (Previous versions of AOS count as REAL OS's, but AOS4.0 has modern features we need.) "
AOS 4 will still lack critical stuff. But it's a step in the right direction.
"I have now used w98se, xp and linux.
According to the SUSE version I have, the "ram disk" is an unknown concept to them (and here we are in the year 2003), as well as w98se, so they are not os's."
Wow. This must be quite a shock to the hundreds of millions of people who run programs on them. With acres of Hard drive space for pennies, one would think that cramming stuff into RAM would be a thing of the past. But reading further on...
Xp DOES NOT do what I request it to do (I've adjusted parameters in the registry, and on re-boot, it IGNORED them). Period. It IS NOT an os. Doesn't have a ram disk, either.
"AOS4.0 will bring back FUN to computing. "
Fun comes in applications and what you do with them. I can have "fun" with a Commodore 1, an EMSAI 8080 or a P4/3.02ghz. Unless you're some freak like Steve G. of c.s.a.m. infamy who seems to think that the be-all end-all of computing is opening and closing windows and menus to "feel the responsiveness."
"Ram disk, rad:, no shut down procedure, no constant re-booting"
Like my poor little P200 Win2k server here that I have to reboot constantl...oh, wait...let me check...nope, 124 days of uptime. Guess you must mean my desktop syste...erk, no, sorry, 65 days of uptime.
", after adding drivers, probably never see "safe mode" re-boots,"
Yes, god forbid you have the ability to go in and un-f**k things because no program has ever lunched the startup-sequence or corrupted it so you had to get in and work on things. Except they did. And you do.
" and no INSTALL WIZARDS/REGISTRY!!!! "
*cough, splutter* How's that? Come again? Right, the Installer was just a figment of our imaginations or a nightmare or something, right?
"A real command line interface (shell)."
I have one too. See?
"I won't have to "log-in" to use MY machine."
Because non-multi user environments are the wave of the future and a sure route to securing professional interest in an OS.
"I'll know where my programs are. I'll be able to disable access to the internet, without a firewall program."
Listen carefully: firewall *good*.
"If I want a program in the ram disk, that's where it'll be!"
Meh. I can download a ram-disk program and use it on my PC, yet I don't. Why? Because I don't have to. 120gb of HD space is *cheap*
"NO BLOAT! Access to cd-r and cd-rw through the shell, you won't need some 4+ meg monstrosity to write to cd's."
If you think that 4+ megs for a program is a "monstrosity" in this day and age, then perhaps you should go back to your 512k/512k A500...
"If you need to re-install AOS4.0, if you copied the DH0: to a cd right after a clean install, copying it back over, will take 20 seconds!!!"
Because you've done it so many times, right? Oh! Wait a second, I thought the mana-from-heaven OS4 won't ever require a reinstall! Oh what will we do!
"Hopefully the graphics card drivers won't take 65 megs of HD space, like directx8.1 needs."
Yeah, because god forbid you have a graphic subsystem that addresses virtually every card made, right? Furthermore, 65mb of HD space is *nothing*. Or would you prefer we go back to $400 for a 120mb HD?
"This is just off the top of my head, but there's SO much more to it, isn't there?"
More than you're apparently aware of.
Look, while AOS4 will be nice, and have a small footprint, it will hopefully have much more in common with *modern* OS's than you think. I for one hope it will have a proper multi-user environment, a "safe-mode" and a "rollback mode". MacOS has all of these, as do every other OS in the world in some fashion or another. That you can't get your head around their need is in no way an indictment of them as not being useful.
"I just wish the A1 had 16 megs of flashrom, so that you could boot-up WAY FAST!!! :)))) "
And then you wouldn't need a DIRTY DIRTY HARD DRIVE! :rolls eyes:
"AmigaOne! Humiliating the competition!!!!!"
What competition? It's not going to "compete" with anything. What, do you think some giant corporation or government entity is going to drop what they're using now and scoop up AOS4?
Not hardly.
Enjoy it for what it will be, but save your rants for c.s.a.m. |
