Thanks

Let's take another example for simplicity: 5G34

5=a number representing version of OS. For OS 10.0.1-10.0.4, these numbers were 1 to 4. 5 follows next numerically and represents 10.1.

The G34 represents the build. They start out with A1 and increase the NUMBER from there. If enough changes are made to where it has packed quite a punch, you move up the letter. So, you see A1, A2, A3,...all the way up to, say, A55. And then it goes B1,B2....

The differences in software between, say, A1 and A2 likely won't be enormous.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Mmmmm

Nice,
A. Why does a simple thank you require a personal attack in response?
B. I see no problem with his (E)nglish, nor do I see any mention of operating system bashing in his response. I see only a technical response that will more than likely fix the stated problem.

Shut up you stupid fairy. This guy is a ****ing idiot for bashing OS X because 9.2 didn't work correctly. He could improve his english skills as well.

insults etc...


Guys...

keep it clean. Don't personally attack each other. Don't insult language skills.

Discuss, be happy... or we'll have to start being a bit more strict.

Avoid explicatives as a well...

You've been warned,

OS X 10.1 5G55 On Servers Yet??

Anyone download 5G55 build of OS X 10.1 yet? Has anyone put it up on a server? I hear a lot about earlier builds. Just curious.

No way, I prefer to deal a bit more with my low frequency tune in 9.2 rather than guessing if is a OS X bug or me.

He is comparing apples and oranges! OS 9(.2) and OS X are completely different and separate. He obviously hasn't even used OS X. I hate when people make uninformed judgements. It's even worse when they use a non-sequitor (it does not follow that because he's having problems with 9.2 that OS X is worse). That technical information even furthers my claim that he knows nothing of what he's talking about. His problem wasn't even OS related. Why is he even posting to a rumor site about a problem with his computer? He needs to post stuff relevant to the topic.

If you check out http://www.railheaddesign.com , you will see that the build is up to 5G47 or so. It's not long now!

10.1 GM

I hope that I can get my clammy hands on 10.1 soon. 10.0.4 is still sloooooow. I can't wait to send in my Mac OS Up To Date Program card!

Running 5G48...

OK, 5G48 is really fast, DVD player doesn't expire (at least yet), and the waking up issues are nailed.. now the issue seems to be actually getting it to go to sleep.. more work obviously being done. Loads of new goodies in the last several versions have been added to finder.. menu options improved, moved around a bit here and there..

6 different programs have menu bar icons now:
Displays, Sound, IR (InfraRed port), Airport, PPPoE, and Batter (laptops only of course get this one).. all of those can be pulled down to present preferences for the appearance of the menu icon, functionality of the device, or fast access to the entire Preference pane for that function..

And yes, it will run fine on anything G3 in the 300s and up speed wise. I've been testing all the builds since 4G27 on a G3 400 DV, a G3 500 DV/SE, and an iBook 466... It's WAY faster than 10.0.x..!

A testament to how much better of an operating system X is v. 9... the speed potential is so much higher, many things now function faster than on 9, including DVD player.. The player doesn't hardly skip a beat bringing up the controller or changing screen sizes.. it's much more suave than the 9 player was.. playback available in a window on the Finder and full screen in theatre mode.. and oh ya, it's Dock sensitive so if it's windowized and the Dock is popped up, it moves out of the way so you can access the Dock..

10.1

Are there any servers that I can DL a recent build from?

Unfortunately, unless you're a developer with an ADC account, the answer to that question is "no"....legally, that is.

Anyway, even if you could get your hands hypothetically on a recent build, why bother?? Within a couple months you can have the real thing, with all the final bugs that WILL be worked out ALREADY worked out.

10.1 release date

true, true... but 10.0.4 is so slow that I am aching for 10.1 (not to mention the bug fixes and improvements -- I like the pull down menus for Airport, Sound, Monitors, etc.)
