CD-RW
I thank you for all your useful suggestions thus far in distributions to
get and all. In this eandevor what I am trying to accomplish is getting
an os that I ca work on that has a somewhat similar look and feel as OS
X, but based on a linux kernel instead of Darwin based on the Unix kernel.
For the desktop I am probably going to use gnome, since I have some
experience with it as I worked on the gnome 2.10 fink port somewhat.
one of the only developers who still used the 10.2-gcc3.3 tree, so
actually that project for that tree was all me.
The other differences are in the things that 10.2 left out, such as the
wide character supprt, which I guess is more complete in panther. And
glibc can't be compiled in OS X.2, or I just lack the experience in
doing it. Trying to get help after I compiled gcc-3.4.3 was like
pulling teeth, and I, on the whole didn't like the various, and
sometimes subtle differences that apple makes to the unix file names.
IE glibtool instead of libtool. And I don't like being told what I can
and can't use.
Now to the actual question(s). I have an external CD-RW, an internal
Zip 250, both iomega. A UMAX 1600U scanner, the latter 2 usb. Are
these kind of devices even able to be used in linux? Do you have to
write your own drivers for them?
