That sig is bullshit. You spend the time once to learn how to use Linux and then you are set for life and are able to use an OS that is free and more capable than anything out of Redmond.:)
Google is your friend. Enter any term you want into google and then dig thru the links it returns. Start with "kernel spinlock" or "spinlock" or "Linux VM" or any combination based on what you wanna know.
One you can buy a replacement CPU Daughtercard from PowerLogix.com (which would also be an upgrade to 500Mhz G3)
or
You can tell Apple you have a defective Lombard daughtercard and that you know they replaced it for others and if they don't replace yours you will go to the online media, ask to speak to a manager too.
You like 10.1? You used to use Red Hat? You sound like you like package management! Check out Fink at http://fink.sourceforge.net. Its a package manager for OS X and uses some debian tools like apt-get.
The simplest answer is often the best one. People run Linux because they want to. Not because its convienent or "not Windows". If one has gotten used and likes Linux, what could Mac OS X give them? There are some similarities of course, the Unix parts of Mac OS X are quite good but they aren't exactly the same as Linux.
Its just a matter of personal taste really. They would run Linux on anything they had probably, Sparcs, Power4's, PA-RISC, MIPS, Athlons and Pentiums....so why not G3's and G4's?
In other words, get the Mac OS or Windows so you can actually do something as opposed on working on a haphazzard kernel so that someday you'll be able to get it to do what you can already do with a Mac or Windows based PC?;0
Actually if you read the Darwin Team Q&A sessions you'll see that there are plans to make it so that Mac OS X users can compile and re-compile the underlying Darwin very easily.
Easy being subjective, it won't be a GUI process, it will just be POSSIBLE to use an updated kernel with an already released version of OS X.
Alright asslips.....lets dance!

Alright Assfuck, I'll bite!:)
How about for the people who have 2 or more AMD computers and they just want to know which fucking one is faster or slower than the other? Is that too much to ask? Or will the computer respond with a "MHz Myth" lecture which would then inform the consumer that since he/she lacks a EE and CS degree that they are too "stupid" to know the answer and that since without such a degree the knowledge of the exact CPU speed would be useless to them?
Is that what you want PoopyAss? Eh?
How about I put a blindfold on you, and take your wife/girlfriend away from you. Then I introduce you to "Woman XP" Now "Woman XP" may or may not be fugly or fine as a fox but YOU'LL NEVER KNOW EVEN WHEN YOU ARE BALLS DEEP IN HER because of some marketdroid's decision that you're just "too stupid" to be told her "Actual Pussy Ratings (PHz or PussyHertz)"
Fabrication plants are leased out to serious businesses with actual money. They aren't there for the charitable use of a few folks who think they know how to design a processor. Fab plants are all about mass production in the first place. There is no way they could be fitted for custom, built to order chips.
Considering that Apple woefully underestimated the demand for 10.1 to the point that they now have the update discs on backorder and that 10.1 has resolved most of the remaining issues with OS X I would say that Apple has already pleased its current customer base.
You are right in that most of the UI experts have chimed in with their opinions on the Aqua UI and yes some of them even used to work at Apple. The thing is, times change and most of thoes "experts" haven't done anything of note since their original works.
NextStep sold hardly at all because the prices of the boxes were even more expensive than the Macs of the era which were already rediculously priced. That and the lack of applications, its focus on students and inability to run current (at the time) Mac applications at the time said more for Next Inc's troubles than the NextStep OS itself.
"Given that, based on inclination to go with the Mac platform, prior investments, planned usage, and populations, the order of users whose needs should be addressed, and who should be attracted basically goes: Mac, Windows, newbies, Unix, misc. it's really mysterious as to why, for example, OS X would have Unix-like user directories, or a terminal divorced from the GUI."
What makes you think Apple is trying to attract current Mac users first and foremost? The Apple website makes very clear their intentions to get the other 95 out of 100 people who buy PC's instead of Macs. While Apple isn't ignoring current Mac users, they aren't putting them in the front seat anymore either and thats a good thing.
All of the Windows users I know have expressed much interest in OS X. I have a Powerbook and show it to who-ever asks and they all want it. Several are going to buy iMacs and iBooks just to be able to use it. I don't see the Unix behaviour of the underlying core of OS X scaring anyone away. Many commented on how it was easier to use and more intuitive than Mac OS 9 and below.
As for the UI, OS X is an OS created with the help of much consumer research and the results of focus groups. Its not as if it was just thrown together to look pretty. Its easy to criticize a company for not doing enough "new and innovative" things but Apple is a company that needs to make money. Surprisingly they are also a company that finally wants to grow. The "innovative and cutting edge UI" that was the Classic Mac OS didn't move many boxes. Sure there are about 20 million Mac users worldwide today but thats nothing compared to the 100's of millions of Windows users.

Brave words from an anonymous coward.
And what are the tools you can use to admin a Unix network that can't be used on Linux as well?
I'd like to wrestle her box.
So buy a friggin router. There are ADSL and Dialup routers you know. Linksys, Netgear...etc. sell them.
Whats wrong with seeing her box?
R j00 gh3y?

Oh shit nevermind your probably an MCSE.......
Please let us know when we are supposed to give a flying fuck about your petty non-linux concerns.

How would we know? Windows isn't open source remember? Therefore only a precious few get to look at how its actually built/made/constructed.
You have two options:
One you can buy a replacement CPU Daughtercard from PowerLogix.com (which would also be an upgrade to 500Mhz G3)
or
You can tell Apple you have a defective Lombard daughtercard and that you know they replaced it for others and if they don't replace yours you will go to the online media, ask to speak to a manager too.

Were you making a funny?

Um....which were the drives that lasted for 1 hour to 1 month? The Seagates or the Fujitsu's?
Awwww whats the matter baby?
You don't have anymore philosophical bullcrap to spout over why someone using an Open Source OS should "be involved in the cause"???
How sad.
No...its preachy fucks like you who we would all be better off without.
So YOU leave.

You have a good day now!
Well, actually it is progress and correctness.
Fabrication plants are leased out to serious businesses with actual money. They aren't there for the charitable use of a few folks who think they know how to design a processor. Fab plants are all about mass production in the first place. There is no way they could be fitted for custom, built to order chips.
Last I checked it did not take $30 Billion semiconducter fabrication plants to press a CD with Linux on it.
And who is going to fabricate these open source processors? You gonna build them by hand?
