Hi Mark,

As much as I would like to recommend a Linux system at this time the best
hardware you can buy is a Mac.  I know some say that the premium $ is not
worth it but after using one for over 2 years I have nothing better to 
recommend.

BTW, the price is way worth it and it's based on a solid unix OS.
At this point even if I was strictly running Linux I would by Mac hardware.

Anyway, just my 2 cents.

- Greg
