Responding to Ari's mail at 12:10 4/17/99 :

Hmmm... OS X Server... dia itu basenya UNIX juga kan?

Oke, dibahas sepotong-sepotong deh...

#>It's an interesting read, especially for anyone pondering which of these
#>alternatives to Windows NT to adopt.

YEAH! Good shot... =)

#>Performance-wise, Simon notes that "Out of the box OS X can be setup very
#>easily to become a high performance web server," but a Linux box can
#>perform
#>just as well in most circumstances, but it does take more technical
#>knowledge to
#>get there." He rates them a tie on performance.

Hmmm... Bapak Simon ini tampaknya belum pernah tau yang namanya COBALT BLUE
QUBE ya?

#>maintain it," while "Linux has no GUI, but a command line interface,"
#>which
#>"gives it a low over head, not having to draw windows and buttons.".
#>Although
#>GUI add-ons are available for Linux, "it doesn't always work as smoothly
#>as OS
#>X, although they do "look and act better than Windows NT/98."

1. FUD! Linux HAS GUI... and it's not an add-ons
Heran deh... kayak Linux masih kurang musuh aja, sekarang Mac-ers juga
ikutan FUD... =(
btw, who needs buttons and windows IF you are using it as a SERVER... what
a wasteful resource... =)

#>Overall,Simon rates OS X Server a better solution for the graphically
#>inclined.

Dooh... =(
graphically ... web server ... 'nuff said...

#>As for software support, Simon observes that Linux has a large software
#>library,
#>ans software exists for about everything you could want to do, while "OS X
#>is
#>new and its selection shows it." However the OS X version of Apache "comes
#>with unparalleled performance though, and WebObjects is one of Apple's
#>prize
#>technologies." Additionally, using BlueBox normal MacOS apps. work in OS
#>X,
#>"expanding its library considerably." (a bit of an understatement, I would
#>say)."

Well... since OS X is based on UNIX, it's easy to port UNIX apps to this
babe... =)

#>Simon does give OS X the winning point for having had Quake 2 running on
#>it.

And Linux can't ?
Well... Linux udah dari dulu bisa jalannin Quake 2... malahan beberapa
add-onnya juga udah jalan..
Ck.. ck... ck... FUD lagi euy... btw, OS X bisa jalanin Starcraft nggak?
Linux bisa tuh....
http://www.linuxgaming.com (kalo nggak salah inget).

#>As for stability, a major Linux bragging point, Simon says he hasn't
#>"heard too
#>many problems from OS X users, but it is a 1.0 release and takes a huge
#>amount
#>of RAM, often times causing the need to restart fresh." Linux's
#>scalability allows
#>it to run on a diversity of hardware, as compared to the G3 required OS X.

Hey... Bapak Simon akhirnya berbicara kebenaran... =)))
btw, kenapa harus beli G3 kalau udah ada makhluk2 486/Pentium lama yang
tidak terpakai?

#>Overall, Simon advises choosing the OS that will do what you need best.
#>Linux
#>can supply "a totally custom system that performs one task insanely
#>quickly by
#>being stripped to do that task." OS X provides a "friendly box that can be
#>administered by anyone in the office, [and] works ideally with all those
#>Macs
#>being used throughout the office."

Pam... pam.. pam...
Bapak Simon ini belum pernah trial Linux2 yang buat Mac yach?
Harusnya dia compare Linux di Mac vs. OS X di Mac.. nah baru deh keren..
Sayang... saya nggak punya Mac... (ihik, padahal komputer pertamaku Apple
II...)

btw, Nice article mas Ari... membuat buka mata bahwa bukan cuman Microsoft
aja yang bisa FUD... =)
