I triple boot between OS X, OS 9.2.1, and YDL 2.0 on my laptop, which is a powerbook G3 series 266mHz with 384mb. I heartily agree that Apple does put out excellent hardware. I have to say OS X v10.1 is really quite good, too.
The dp releases were sluggish, and I had my own doubts, but the latest release is great. Screen redraws and launching programs have become as fast as any OS I've seen, even with the graphics-heavy Aqua look-and-feel. I am more impressed by its perfomance on my older laptop than I am by YDL 2.0, which I installed at the same time.
I will be the first to admit that most of my problems with YDL 2.0 have been my own lack of experience with Linux. I haven't given up on it, though. I'm pro-Linux, I'm just saying don't dismiss OS X due to performance issues that have mostly been remedied by now.
