I installed it last night, making sure to get the patches in order to use VESA not just SVGA. That gave me color. NS sure is beautiful. My color slab wasn't this good looking, since the slab had 16 bits of color.
The dated part for me is having to setup the OS for some workflows that have come about since NS days. Some things for scroll wheels not getting recognized out of the box and other polish. WS is great, though I'd change the Drag and Drop just a little. My memory of WS must have tarnished or faded some over the years, because it was and is really easy to work with.
I'll likely install the developer cd this weekend.
Thanks, again, for getting me to reinstall.
On a side note, there are commercial projects that use GNUstep. I use Hopper, a disassembler, that uses GNUstep.
From the developer training I still remember one statement in particular, "Even if NS isn't around in a few years, there will be a company that deeply understands what we do and they will do it." I guess that prophetically was OS X (at least in part).
- protomyth 10y agoWhat guide did you use to do the install?
- IncRnd 10y agoThis one looks pretty good. http://openstep.bfx.re/ http://openstep.bfx.re/ I haven't been able to figure out the networking. I have the ne2k driver, but it doesn't seem to install. I suppose the copy I have is somehow corrupted.
