Good to hear.
Can someone recommend a particular operating system, such as
FreeBSD or Debian, which is very well supported by GNUStep, and
which will give me an environment as similar to Mac OS X as I can get?
Ubuntu and FreeBSD are the two tier 1 platforms for Étoilé. x86-32
is better supported than -64, but we are working on that for 0.4.
Note that there are a number of Apple-specific technologies (core
animation, quicktime, and so on) that won't be duplicated by any
GNUstep-based environment.
Also, I would appreciate the name of a good IDE or text editor on
that OS that maybe has particularly good integrating with GNUStep.
There are a couple of GNUstep IDEs, and also CodeEditor.app in Étoilé
svn, but I still tend to use vim for editing source files.
