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.

It's hosted by ibm, I think they can withstand a slashdotting.

First thing that pops into my head:
Look nice.

Awesome! Where do I download it from?
Time warp post! Someone wrote more or less the same thing last year.
The best part about portage is when you start a big update, and say "hey, I'll do it overnight when I don't need the computer." Then you come to work the next morning and find that the third package install, which probably started less than 10 minutes after you left, has crashed or is waiting for user input. You can't beat a packaging system like that!
The middle mind speaks!
"how an app looks is trivial compared to what it can do"
It's not trivial. Replace "an app" with "your wife" and you'll see what I mean.
If you really want your work environment to look (and stink) like a sewer all day, every day, be my guest.
I tried replacing an app with my wife and she unexpectedly quit.
To piss you off.

Are you saying that OS X killed you? if that's not a good enough reason to use Linux instead, i don't know what is.
