Re: TI-H: Speed of da G3
>From my understanding extensions are basically libraries that are loaded
into memory at startup, and act basically the same way kernel modules do in
Linux. only they've got nice little controls panels to configure them which
would look great of only macs had a decent looking widget set (especially
those window title bars...ick, and yes, i knwo there are ways to make it
look prettier, but it's still nothing like my windowmaker desktop).
Personally, I think extensions just slow down system startup by leaps and
bounds for what they do (at least that's what they do on my friend Murray's
power mac). I personally hate MacOS. I find it's very hard to do simple
tasks in, and I really miss having a nice command line on which to do
things. I guess coming from a Linux/X background that makes sense though.
Now...if only i could find myself a cheap [read:free] powermac on which to
run MkLinux :>
