Great job guys. Sorry I didn’t make it there from Deap Presidents with you, but I wanted to spend some time with the lovely wife before the cold totally took over my sinuses and I choked to death.
PS: Posting from beyond the grave is fun! All the computers here are Macs!
Linux is nice, but it lacks the polish and ease of use that the Mac has.
I’ve run several linux boxes and administer debian box at work, and I have no complaints about it. In fact, my old laptop is going to be a linux fileserver once I feel lie going through the pain of getting it installed and working properly.
I have. It’s a decent OS, but there’s always one or two piddling little things that I have to spend time fixing before I can use it as a desktop. Wireless LAN, mp3 support, syncing my ipod, etc. Until that can all get done without any intervention by the user, Ubuntu is simply not ready for the mass market.
The only reason that I liked Linux in the first place was the fact that it is unix based. Well, I have that on the Mac now, as OS X is based off of BSD.
