I know, call me a heathen, but I'm really starting to question the usefulness of linux. I installed it perfectly on my TiBook Onyx and got everything working, almost. The video needed a special experimental kernel to run, and my sound was monologue, the dvd drive could not read cd disks or dvd disks, but only formatted data disks. I couldn't figure out how to get linux to read my osx partition, even though that sort of labotomized my computer, but I dealt with it. Other than these few problems I had a smoothly running and very content little linux system. It did everything it said it would do, and more, I enjoyed it very much. However I didn't run a server with linux, I simply used it as a development platform, and then I got my hands on a cocoa book.
I sat down with the 5gb partition of what was left of my osx distro and began to toy with cocoa, and then I found out what an awesome development platform I already had. It had no hardware driver difficulties so I had stereo sound, full video card support (which was important to me as I use OGL) and it could read both music cds and dvd movies. Plus I found a plethora of free software for OSX and even more free software for Darwin. I still prefer linux over windows on a wintel machine, but I must say, OSX has impressed me a great deal on the mac, and now I pose this question to you: If your not running a server, or doing a task that requires linux specifically, why are you using it?
