in thread (OT) Fixing OSX's biggest weakness as a dev platform

The OS X is not just a Unix kin. It's also a Macintosh ... or at least it was meant to be a Macintosh from the outside with BSD under the hood. And Macs used to be case insensitive as far as I remember. And I bet you'd surprise the heck out of the Mac oldtimers if you suddenly switched to a case sensitive filesystem.

    *sighs* Which is what I addressed in my OP and why I discussed partitioning and what I had to go through in order to partition my bootdisk.

    My criteria for good software:
    1. Does it work?
    2. Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?
