Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon vs. Mac OS X Leopard

Posted by Zonk on from the who-is-king-of-the-jungle dept.

walterbyrd writes "Linux magazine has up a decent article comparing Gutsy Gibbon to Leopard. 'The stereotype for each OS is well known: Mac OS X is elegant, easy-to-use, and intuitive, while Ubuntu is stable, secure, and getting better all the time. Both have come a long way in a short time, and both make excellent desktops. So we have two great desktop operating systems out at roughly the same time. Let's see how they stack up against each other.'"

    I'm one of two Mac users in my family.
    The other one is gay.
    And his boyfriend also uses a Mac.
    ...And they both have iPhones.

    Those two also seem to think that setting a laptop on a desk means that it's a desktop, but I don't think that has anything to do with their sexual orientation.

    Besides, it beats getting fucked by Windows every day. You see though, that's what I like about Windows. I know when Windows is fucking me. The only time I know I got fucked by my Mac was when I compared the machine to the check I wrote to buy it.
