[Macpartners] New Unix features in Panther Webcast...

[Eric Zelman]

Folks-

This session provides a sneak-peek at several of the exciting 
UNIX-related features planned for Panther, the new version of Mac OS X 
(v10.3) due later this year. The first section will focus on X11 for 
Mac OS X v1.0, which will be bundled with Panther. Apple's 
implementation of the X11 windowing system, based on XFree86 4.3, 
features fast OpenGL graphics and an Aqua-compatible "quartz-wm" Window 
Manager. The 1.0 version for Panther adds full-screen support and 
Finder integration, allowing you to launch X11.app by double-clicking 
on an X11 binary.

The second section will focus on other UNIX-related improvements in 
Panther, including:

Greatly improved NFS performance and reliability

Single sign-on using Kerberos

Quartz for UNIX - command-line and script access to rich graphics tools

UNIX upgrades (BSD updates, UNIX/Linux APIs, and much more)
