Eric, I know exactly how you feel, I too am a dedicated Mac user and I also am greatly attracted to Linux. I think there is a common spirit between MacOS and Linux that is not shared by the abusive world of Microsoft. OSX will of course allow for a unix type os to be supported by Apple people. Only time will tell and I wonder also if LinuxPPC will be able to make it against all odds. >I also have linuxPPC running on a G3. However at this point it is >just an amusement for me. My "real" linux boxes are all intel >hardware. Why? The Mac still remains for me far more useful and >enjoyable as a desktop machine (much unlike windows on my intel >machines) and very rarely crashes despite a boat load of extensions >and continuously having at least a half dozen programs open at once. > >Once OSX ships I think it will clearly initially be the choice as a >desktop machine for most Mac heads like myself (we generally love >our operating system for the most part, as opposed to tolerating it >like much of the windows community).
