I surely put up with more problems on my Linux boxes than I do with my Mac. And no one I'm aware of is giving away systems capable of serving as Linux desktop or server systems. Nor, in fact, is there any totally cost-free way of acquiring a Linux distribution. > 4) Reboot, reboot, reboot ad nauseum Bullshit. Macs are very reliable, stable and predictable and do better than Linux in certain application areas, such as graphics, publishing and media. True, the best-of-breed applications in some of these areas are far from cheap, but then, the best-of-breed applications are really only needed by professionals and serious students in professional fields I would not want to surrender either Linux or the Mac. Windows can go to hell, of course. RRS -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
