mac operating systems

As you know Apple computers work on their own Operating systems . These OS's are based on UNIX.
there are number of operating systems
* The Mac OS Classic family, which was based on Apple's own code
* The Mac OS X operating system, a fusion of the 'classic' Mac OS and NeXTSTEP.
NeXTSTEP is the object-oriented, multitasking operating system developed by NeXT Computer to run on its range of self developed computers, such as the NeXTcube, and later, other computer architectures.
Mac OS classic (mac OS 9 and earlier) is a graphical OS and was criticized because of lack of memoy management and the troubleshooting was a real pain, as it was based on trial and error method and hence very time consuming.
After 2001 Apple came up with quite a few operating systems
* 5.1 Mac OS X Public Beta "Kodiak"
* 5.2 Mac OS X v10.0 "Cheetah"
* 5.3 Mac OS X v10.1 "Puma"
* 5.4 Mac OS X v10.2 "Jaguar"
* 5.5 Mac OS X v10.3 "Panther"
* 5.6 Mac OS X v10.4 "Tiger"
* 5.7 Mac OS X v10.5 "Leopard"
* 5.8 Mac OS X v10.6 "Snow Leopard"
Public Beta "Kodiak", Puma,and Jaguar are obsolete now.
panther and Tiger are running but has a very limited support
Leopard is up and running.
Snow Leopard is the latest one.
The leopard OSX (mac OSX 10.5)is the best OS as it came with around 300 new features as compared to the TIger (10.4) and others.
Snow leopard (10.5.6) is the upgraded version of leopard (a 64 bit OS,hence you able to save some disk space) with few added options.
such as
restoring from trash (windows has it from years..........)
dock options and installation options are changed as well
and quick time pro is added in OSX itself
Though The SL server is good.
any questions Folks? Go ahead buddddyyyyyy, ask.
There is nothing more fearful than ignorance in action. Goethe
