You will get varied answers depending on who you speak to but I 
personally think OS X and Linux are complimentary opposites. For many 
people on the list the two OS's are employed in complete harmony while 
some of the more staunch Linux advocates see OS X as yet another 
proprietary operating system (YAPOS?). I personally use OS X for my 
workstations and Linux on my servers. Of course I am addicted to COCOA 
programming and objective-C so I am a bit biased. with PERL, SSH, NFS, 
Samba, etc on OS X you can easily get it to play nice with Linux. 
Welcome to the wonderful world of Linux.
