Assignment 3/ Linux Program and Mac OS X

I have never heard of the Linux program until reading the article. I believe sometimes one idea can spark a technological revolution such as a group Bell Lab developers. I can tell that I am a little behind on computer software. However the article about Mac OS X, I have heard about. I knew some information about it,but received a deeper understanding of it. I have not used an apple computer in years and never learned of the Darwin packages. My definition of hacker and the Mac OS X's definition is totally different. I always thought a hacker was person who breaks in programs and computers and steals information. Well I definitely learned a significant amount information and found it very interesting.

I have to admit a Mac bias and I really liked the article on Mac. I agree on the hacker section. I didn't really think of hackers in a totally negative light, but also didn't think I'd want to put your everyday citizen in the category of hacker -- until reading this piece. It makes it look like just having fun messing with your computer!
