The story of how a BeOS refugee (and not just everyone, but the author of the 'BeOS Bible' book) lost faith in the future of computing, resigned himself to Windows but found himself bored silly, tore out half his hair at the helm of a Linux box, then rediscovered the joy of computing in MacOSX. Scot Hacker will describe his personal adventures with today's operating systems after he was set out to find an alternative to his beloved (but with no apparent future) BeOS. Update: Make sure you read the second part of the article, a rebutal, found here.

Why the obsession with installing mySQL on every OS you run? mySQL hiccuped several times while I read this article. Worse, it's missing features we should expect in an RDBMS. It would seem that even BFS is better than mySQL as a database. I would be more satisfied with MS SQL Server on Win2k than I would with mySQL on anything. Try Postgres, and be as discriminating with database software as you are with OSes.
