I can't believe people actually see OSX as a competitor. It offers nothing over similar unix based OSes and costs an extortionate amount, completely backwards in the world of open source software.
100% disagree
My linux uses 180-200mb of RAM at desktop with loads of stuff running
My Windows7 uses 1GB of RAM on boot
My linux install is more responsive, loads quicker and runs a lot quicker than my windows7 install
I think people must be using bloated installs of linux or something
Yeah, what kind of pillock appreciates good design in their OS and applications?I can't believe people actually see OSX as a competitor. It offers nothing over similar unix based OSes and costs an extortionate amount, completely backwards in the world of open source software.

Just re installed Lucid Lynix (10.4) to my laptop (wanted to experiment with partitioning the HDD with my own /home partition) . It's not old and not new (MSI GX700) but I had no problems with WiFi etc.
I did have it connected to the net via LAN during the install which seems to help no end. Loaded the current NVidia driver and good to go. Rebooted enabled wireless... bosh... connected! Plugged in my 3G Dongle.... bosh.... connected!
Must be just lucky with the hardware.....
I only use linux on cli for development/live servers, my everyday computers are either windows or mac.
