I should have elaborated. If the computer is your airplane, the OS is the airport. It seems like a backwards analogy here, but it kinda fits. It works the other way around too, the airplane being the OS that runs on the airport.

Either way, you can land different planes at different airports. Sometimes you do it just because you can.

I'm sure there are plenty of old Macs out there that don't run OS X that can find new life with a linux system.

It's like those really old airplanes you always find in jungles. They're no use to me now, but there might be booty inside.
