I think the LINUX star is setting. At some point, there will be a really

Why bother with LINUX when you can use Apple's Leopard, which is UNIX in
a sweet candy shell?


A better question is, why switch from one proprietary OS to another? ;-)

Clearly, it's a different strokes thing, but I'm quite happy with
Linux. I wasn't happy with Bill Gates' way. I don't know why I should
expect to be happy with Steve Jobs' way. With Linux, I can have it my
way.
