Ubuntu vs. Apple [WAS: Re: Novel and Microsoft]

[Mike Garfias]

Lets see:

Runs M$ Oriface (yuck, but needed)
Much better UI
Still has X11
Runs all the unix software I need
Doesn't hurt my eyes (Fonts rendered in X11 were horrific and caused  
eye strain [this has been awhile, hopefully its gotten better])
things just work - i don't spend hours trying to make something go

With your line of reasoning: If you can get OpenBSD to run, why the  
hell would you run linux?
