More likely Linux.

Never bothered with Linux... Mac has a Linux core and unless it's doing it in the background I don't think it auto compiles, or recompiles

Mac OS-X is not linux. It is a (highly?) modified version of BSD.

I said Linux core...

And honestly I don't know enough about it to debate this.

I shot a frame of Lomography "Orca" 110 format today in my fisher price camera I got when I was 5

Yeah, I'm a gentoo man, have been for the last 10 years. Only recently put on a VirtualBox for my scanner and PLC programming software (actually two boxes, Vista for the scanner and PLC software, 2000 for the Graphic Terminal software). Damn Mitsubishi, they don't work with 7 or later.
What started on Friday as "a) I need more space on my Vista virtual box, b) another nvidia driver update has left me with an unbootable system, and c) I'm sick off work and bored" turned into a new 128GB SSD, my first and then second ATI Radeon card ever (first one only had single-link DVI and didn't handle my 27" monitor, so back to the shop it went), then a solid weekend of uninstalling, reinstalling, wiping and starting again twice. A few more days of constant recompiling to get rid of dependency errors has left me with an almost-usable machine, all I need is a working xorg.conf and I can get back to using it properly.

ps, Stone, the linux kernel was written by a guy called Linus, as a sort of rip off of Minix, which itself is a 'Unix-like' system (the name Minix is pronounced 'My Nix', as opposed to Unix, 'You Nix'). BSD is a version of Unix developed by Berkely, and has lots of variants (freeBSD, OpenBSD, etc), the OSX core is based on BSD.

The reason it's all so confusing is that a lot of the same software runs on all of them, the 'nix' bit is just the kernel, the lowest of the low-level drivers of the system. The text-based interface, for example BASH, runs on all of them and looks fairly similar regardless. All of the programs and the kernel are compiled in GCC, the Gnu C Compiler. Some people refer to Linux as Gnu/Linux, as opposed to Gnu/Hurd, which is the same compiled programs running on a Hurd kernel, not a Linux kernel.
There are some nice family trees here and here.

Yes, I think the 'nix suffix confuses some people.

I'm into Debian here I tried Gentoo years ago (and periodically try others), but I keep going back to Debian. Haven't tried Slackware yet.

I don't use my laptop much (prefer desktops), but may put BSD on my laptop to get a little more experience with it.

Lets not get into AT&T v Berkeley, or this thread will get even more derailed, lol.

It's been a long time, but did know where UNIX and Linux stemmed from and who Linus Torvals (sp?) was, didn't know it was a version of Minux, thought it was a directly riped from UNIX.

I also am familiar with openBSD but without the "open" part my brain didn't click to remember... Understand it's been ... Well since about 2001 since I've run any kind of unix based system and have forgotten a lot...

By the time I was using a Mac instead of a PC or Linux (and the very first generation RedHat Linux GUI), I stopped caring about the techy stuff and cared "does it work?" "Yes!" "Ok then I don't need to think further".

But I know it's got some kind of unix like core in SOME WAY. Unix commends seem to work in the command line thingy it (mac) has...

Course all I can remember of unix commands is....

/h

Lol!!! (And I'm not even sure that's correct for "Halt")

But it's what we should do about this convo and get back to film...

Also not quite correct. Linus was a student of Andy Tanenbaum (the creator of Minux) and so, naturally, started by trying to improve Minux...it was pert of the home work assignment. Later, Linus started basically from scratch and that effort become known as Linux. There are significant architectural differences between Minux and Linux. The two, student and professor, have engaged infamously bitter debates over some of these issues.

the name, Minix is pronounced 'My Nix',


Interesting...over here, I've always heard it pronounced "min-ux" as in minimal unix.

Yeah, I'd sort of heard the story before, but then I got bored and I've been reading up on the whole history all afternoon, then on "the flame war that wasn't", then about monolithic and microkernels. Now I want to try a Hurd microkernel for the hell of it (I once put CentOS on a DEC Alpha one weekend when I was bored). Should probably get my X working first.

Meanwhile, Truzi, a linux user and film shooter? Someone after my own heart! Too bad I'm taken. And too bad you use Debian. Someone once asked me "why Gentoo?". My reply was along the lines of "if I wanted to just download precompiled packages that keep breaking things and don't work together, I still be using windows". (Although I'm sure it's a lot better than when RedHat 7 and Suse 10 put me off rpms). Still, Gentoo or Slackware, anything else is a dealbreaker (says the guy who just helped both his missus and mum buy a win8.1 laptop each).

Meanwhile, we should talk film. What that? In't this the 'what OS did you use recently?' thread?


How about I go develop that FP4 that's older than me while my radeonsi drivers are installing tonight...

What'd I recompile lately? Well, not much except my own code since I ditched gentoo about 3 years ago because if you get too far behind on the updates, the blocking dependencies become literally impossible to resolve. They burnt too many bridges and I wasn't interested in updating monthly, which made it impossible to keep current. Before that, Slackware (from floppies!), starting with the 2.0.10? kernel in late 1996. Having gcc, gdb and proper segmentation faults* beat the pants off learning to program C with Borland on DOS and rebooting when you screwed the pooch on pointer arithmetic.

So now I Ubuntu, which seems to be an OK debian once you ditch the Unity BS.

F***, I'm old.

Shoot film? Too busy on APUG

I just read the last half dozen posts and I haven't a clue what they are about or what they have to do with "What films did you shoot most recently ?".

Ben : well done ! I couldn't understand a word ! -- I have Pentax KX loaded with Fuji Superia 100 Mk II, MZ-5 with Kodak Colorpus 200 , Minox with 'Truprint' 400 and a Rolleiflex 3.5F Planar with XP2 Super all not finished up.

Fuji 800 NPZ (35mm)
Fuji Reala (35mm)

Trying to use up some tidbits of film that was given to me, so I shot:
Ilford Delta 400 (35mm)
Fuji Neopan 1600
Fuji Neopan 400 (35mm)
Ilford Delta 100 (120)

And my usual Ilford HP5+ in both 120 and 35mm.

Just finished off a roll of Ektar in the F3P. Need to upload the scans to flickr and SmugMug.

Two 4x10 frames on an 8x10 sheet of HP5+

Totally under exposed one of them, not sure what happened there...

Can't wait to see how they come out

Just did my first 8x10s on the weekend too. Haven't scanned it yet, but even hanging in the shower it looks great
