Hi All,

I've been absent from squeaking for a few months but have recently returned
(triumphantly, of course!), loading up my old images under Mac OS X (Panther).
These were previously running on an OpenBSD VM (and occasionally, Linux).

Having recently checked out the svn sources for [unix] and generated a VM using
VMMakerTool (and compiling through Terminal.app), it occurred to me to pose the
question of relative *performance* and *stability* in terms of: Cocoa, Carbon,
Unix VMs on the OS X base. Since I'm in Terminal most of the time, and have BSD
on another box, it seemed natural to generate a unix VM - but was this a wise
choice on my part? [As a side note, all plugins were generated as internal]

I've perused the swiki for thoughts but most of the information seems to be
slightly dated. It seems that these comments were made when the advent of
compiling the unix code to Quartz/OSX was a novelty.

Is there a general consensus to use Carbon images (as supplied by John) ...?
Should I be checking out the 'Mac OS' tree using subversion, or is the unix vm
just as suitable?

Thanks in advance,
Warm regards,
Marc (zpg)
