    I'm sure the apple website has something. Soo much nicer than d/l rpms on my linux box for OpenSSL and cups. Better load up2date and wait for the package to error out.. when new RPMs are released... *a month from now* I hate Linux, Mac OSX is the best *nix on the planet right now because it has Apple behind it.

    I wonder how "fixed" CUPS is now.. Out of the box, I had a biotch of a time setting up my new G5.. and I work in a print-production shop.. so CUPS and me are buddy-buddy.

    Hey, don't feel bad. CUPS sucks on all platforms. The first thing I have to do on my Linux box is uninstall CUPS and install the regular old lpr print system.

    I am amazed after every update that my old iMac still runs like new. I have never had any problems updating, installing, or anything else. How many 1999 windows PC's can claim that every OS update just makes everything better? I'm not trying to provoke a response, I just wanted to share my joy of "it just works". Thanks Apple.

    Correction: There is no infalliable code.
    OS X just happens to be the easiest to use when it works, which is the vast majority of the time. You obviously havent used OS X otherwise you'd realise this yourself.

    I've used (and work with) various flavours of Linux, including Mandrake, and none are as easy to use as OS X, whoever is operating the system.
