One reason I see is that Linux requires much less system resources than OS X and performs better on some older machines. I use OS X now, but played around with YDL and it worked faster compared with Jaguar.

Why would you ever want to install Linux on a Mac when OS X is the best personal Unix ever?
I'm a newbie to Unix. REAL green. So, I thought it would do me good to consider running a Unix OS on my spare 600 MHz iMac. I have the impression that installation of most Unix/Linus OSs is a engrossing endeavor. But I need to become comfortable editing and moving around in a Solaris environment.
Is Darwin a possibility? If I were to use command line in terminal, would I be in an environment comparable to Solaris? For instance, Darwin doesn't come with vi, does it?
OK, I'll google this, too :)
Thanks,
Donald
