I think Hell has in fact frozen over

I have to make a few comments today about some things that have happened yesterday that I really thought would not happen anytime soon.

First for you Debian folks out there Debian 3.1 (Sarge) was Released. For those who watch the Debian project we all know that it moves pretty glacial and for some time I did not know if Sarge was ever going to come out. So Chears and thanks to all the Debian guys! Now I have to go and apt-get update ; apt-get dist-upgrade a whole lot of servers.

The second piece of news that there was a LOT of speculation about and I found more shocking is Apple is going to be moving to x86. Not only that, they hope to complete the transition in 2 years. Now if any company can pull this off it is Apple but I will be watching closely to see how this plays out. I will also be watching to see how easy it will be to get OSX running on my x86 machines. I know there was a lot of speculation and people like Devorak had been predicting it for years. People had pointed out that why would Apple start making Darwin architecture specific if it was only to be on one architecture. Even with the facts I admit that seeing the Intel people on stage with Jobs was like a crazy dream.
