Subject: Re: #6840 OpenOSX products
I have talked to a few people who have been using these applications and
the general feeling is they are very pleased. That being said these
users were coming for the Unix mindset where open source software is the
norm. Keep in mind that these CD's are all open source software and it
really shows. These are Linux applications that have been ported to OS
X. There may be problems with saving files that can be easily used by
others and of course there is the months of man-hours that it takes to
learn all new applications. My advice would be, stick with OS 9 until
you are ready to make the leap to X including the new apps. However for
$199 for OS X 10.2 "Jaguar" and $30 for one of these CD's it may be a
small price to pay to install both on one iMac and give it a good test
drive!
