That is very interesting.
But long term, given it is apple and ignore the sever part (which it should go now but not then), these are bad mix.
Still Steve did try to get linux as base (including talking with Linus) but even that is not right.
It turned out the strange bsd-cum-message based os work fine.
- MBCook 5y agoDo you have a source for the Linux part? I’ve never heard that before and would like to know more.
- ngcc_hk 5y agoThe discussion with Linus is in the autograph coming out when he passed away.
- ksherlock 5y agoIn 1996 (prior to the NeXT reverse merger) Apple and OSF started working on MkLinux which was Linux+Mach for PowerPC. Apple dropped it a couple years later. The Walter Isaacson Steve Jobs biography doesn't have any mentions of Linux or Linus Torvalds FWIW.
