in other news, the tests were helpful.

Yeah I suck at spelling...  I normally run my posts through word or some such thing but I was rushing a bit.

Another reason to use a Unix / Linux based system.  Root is easier to spell than administrator :-P

You can turn those off rather easily. Actually very easily.

Druid:
It really does depend on what you need to do.

If you need to interface with other Macs or need a Unix-compatible workstation with a nice looking interface then Macs are it.

If you want the Mac lifestyle then buy a Mac.

If you need to interface with a Windows network, other windows machines, and have a limited need to connect to Unix boxs get Windows and install the Services for Unix.

If you want a Unix-compatible workstation on x86 or PPC hardware that can be absolutely annoyingly broken at times then run Linux.

There really isn't a compelling reason for either side. x86 hardware (Motherboard, CPU) can be picked up pretty much where ever while PPC hardware is only available through Apple.

I like PCs because the hardware is readily available, and I'm not stuck with whatever designs Apple decides on. I'm stuck with whatever some Korean designer decides on. :P
