I use both at work and home. There's some stuff you can do in one you can't do in the other, ie run X11/Gnome/KDE apps on the latest Apple hardware under OSX (have to wait for the latest Xfree to support Nvidia), on the other hand, on Linux, it's great when your doing internet services, or programming, but it doesn't have all the desktop apps I want/need. Now the question is, which will support the other missing portions better in the near future? How well will it run on my hardware? How much will it cost me? For me, it's a mixed bag of answers. On my latest hardware, OSX is brisk and responsive, I've almost gotten completely rid of my dependence on Classic altogether, and I believe soon that XFree86 will let me run all I want from the OSS side also. On my older hardware, OSX may or may not run, but Linux does well, I don't need it to run all my desktop apps, but I do have them running critical stuff 24/7, and they are just humming along. They use free software, (free as in speech, not free as in beer) that I enjoy supporting, and has free upgrades usually faster than what I need. Why fix this if it ain't broke? Last question/answer I'll leave out there is why do you want to do OSX or Linux, do you want less hassle, and don¹t really care what's under the hood, or do you like to tinker, or is there that just needed app that's on one or the other? There's other questions that are similar to the ones above, the answers will say what's right for you. Dave Gomez
