Posted by pudge on from the guilt-is-for-the-weak dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Here's an interesting commentary on OSDir.com about one Mac OS X user's guilt over using it instead of Linux on his laptop, and how he's been burned by the dreaded iBook logic board problems so much that it underlines the tyranny of hardware vendor lock-in: it's not that Mac OS X isn't F/OSS, but that it only runs on Apple hardware. It also raises the obvious question: have you ever felt guilty over using Mac OS X instead of Linux?"

    10 minutes out and the server's already melted down. How am I supposed to mod comments? Before reading the article?

    Slashdot editors should make a special mirror for people with mod points. They ought to be good for something.

    Well, I guess I'm just going to mod up the funny comments.

    But you can "F/OSS" with Macs running OSX, like all the rappers do in their Bentley rollin' on dubs.
