how does mac OS X not offer that?
if you have used mac os x i am curious to see some examples of where you
feel the flexibility is lost, and how GNU/Linux would improve there?
the only problem i see with mac os x is that the gui stuff is not free.
but GNUstep is catching up, and eventually we will ahve a gui that
rivals that of mac os x and leaves kde and gnome in the dust.
