As a Unix hacker from wayyyy back, you'd think I'd be all for Linux. Well, I would be, if it weren't for Apple.
OS-X shows just how to integrate Unix with a really friendly GUI. What's more, it's well documented and pretty reliable (that'd be the FreeBSD underneath).
I do have a couple of disks with Linux on them (both my PCs have cartridges, so I can just wack in the boot disk I want at the time) but I tend to only use Mr Torvald's baby for a few (work related) things. Ninety per cent of the time I'm on the Mac and much of the rest, I have a Micro$oft OS in the PC.
The trouble with open source projects is that it's like herding cats. In the day job, I've just been told off to sort out a piece of open source code. I refuse to give my opinion on an open forum!
Still, as OrangePeel so rightly says - think of the money.
