Solo-Dev(Villain here on WM) has been hard at work making a app called "iForms".
This app is here to make customizing your desktop fun and easy, it is still in the beta stage, but is already showing its potential. He will be releasing an update every Sunday.
you can get the latest here: http://solo-dev.devi...t.com/#/d2uq5nd

So my beta tester (the guy that has been my first and main tester since Quartz was Audia...) PCModer has set up a forum up at his website, pcmoder.com.

Now let me say this, his site often has good and interesting articles, i can honestly say i go there atleast once a day, and when i see new articles, i really enjoy them.

Well, he has set up a forum, and in that forum is a sub forum Just for Quartz. I am very glad that he has done so, and i so very much appreciate it. So here is what i am going to do. In appreciation for what he has done, I will use his forum for first release news and pics info on Quartz, And, for the first 10 people to go sign up on his forum, i will have him tell me the first 10 peeps, and you will get a Quartz Beta download link, and full updates as they happen.

I hope that this proves good and full incentive for his site, along with people to help me get the word of Quartz out and about. Just keep in mind, Quartz = a RC0 / Final Beta status, so there will be some issues, but generally, i put out an update about three times a week, if i am feeling lazy. if not, one update per day, per normal School (5 days) week.

All that I need for you to do is make an account / register, then at least do a post in the "Introduce Yourself" thread. We are trying to grow this site as a good, friendly community, and every little bit helps!

Remember, first 10 get it! So On Your Mark, Get Set, GO to PCModer.com, click on "Forums", and sign up!!

Unix has always been my OS of choice if I had to do real work, real fast, and real reliable. Nine times out of ten I could whip up a shell script to fix almost any poorly designed piece of compiled code. Unix was supported by the vendors, stable as it could be and was a coders dream. I remember one time seeing a Windows programmer's jaw drop when we did an uptime on a heavily used Unix server....it had been on for over 3 years...and never missed a beat...try that even today's Windows servers....Linux in the past was a poor mans UNIX but not any more. Linux is now a full blown, fully supported OS and is taking over the areas UNIX used to rule. Anyone who has used both will tell you there is very little different as far as the functionality and in my opinion Linux is the better choice. You have all of the shells (csh, bash, ksh etc.) and the nice UNIX commands like sed, grep, awk (Stop rolling your eyes Windows nerds). Basically Linix rocks and is great not only for the smaller workstations but now is capable of and does support server clusters for everything from web sites to top secret military applications. But what is the difference between UNIX and Linux? Well...

1) They are spelled differently.

2) One has 4 letters the other has 5 in the name.

3) UNIX will usually only run on the manufacturers hardware, Linux will run on any 386 based system.

4) UNIX is expensive, Linux is free.

5) UNIX has more command line programs.....no...wait...it does not.....

6) Linux does not have all of the types of applications UNIX does......wait...yes it does.

7) UNIX has been around since the earliest days of operating systems...ok UNIX has that one...but Linux is basically a clone of UNIX.

When you start comparing the two, unless you are running some very special programming it looks like Linux is really the way to go, especially if you are a UNIX person now. There is almost no learning curve and there are tons of applications available. Will Linux ever kill UNIX...it just might, UNIX already is being see less and less. But will Linux ever replace Mac and Windows....well......if you had not noticed MAC OS now IS Linux, it just has a nice cover, but you can pull up a shell and there it is..Linux....Will Linux replace Windows......maybe, that will take some time but if you use Windows 7 now you can see that Microsoft is scared .They actually had to make a better OS this time to compete (heaven forbid a better OS from Microsoft).

So there it is, unlike Alien vs Predator, UNIX vs Linux is a little clearer. Linux is already the victor and will continue to win until UNIX is something that only old programmers in rocking chairs talk about.
