A Power Users Look at Linux on the Mac

An anonymous reader writes "Even though most Linux users have treated Linux as an operating system for their x86 white boxes, Linux runs equally well on PowerPC machines. This article looks at Linux on the PowerPC and the appealing range of PPC machines produced by Apple, where the option of using Linux is of great value to many users."

    Having a Powerbook with OSX and Linux installed, I still cannot understand why people prefer OSX. Having only one Desktop and no X11 is really annoying. So I installed X11 and lots of other software that is standard for Linux, but still why bother when you can run Linux and, in case you really need OSX, MOL.
