Hehe, funny you mention Macs, since the latest Mac OS is just a
derivative of a BSD type OS, which is very Unix like...

Oh, and for the record, for someone who has been dabbling with Linux for
a while now, the latest incarnations of Linux are VASTLY easier to setup
and use then prior versions. Are they as easy as Windows? Nope, but they
are very close, especially considering efforts like Lindows/Linspire.

Give it some more time, Linux is very close to being perfect for
mainstream user use. I myself have converted 3 of the PCs on my network
to Linux, the only reason I still run windows on my main PC is the VPN
connection to work, and the fact that I can't find drivers for my ATI
AIW to use all it's fancy features. TTYL
