I got Red Hat 5.2 emulated a while back, on my G3 tower with 128 Meg of RAM. I did it under Blue Label emulator, which emulates a Pentium Class motherboard so you can install any X86 system on it. I was about the speed of a Pentium 100, on my 300 Mhz G3. I dumped it because got a dedicated linux box. I installed it 2 times. The first time when clean. I accidentally deleted some key files and had to re-install it. It took 2 tries the second time. It works really well with a bootable CDROM. That's my 2 cents.
I go to a college that uses a window's NT network. The sation in my libary only lets me run Internet Explorer. This is the only program can run, and that is run on this computer. It is a HP with a Pentium 2 and 64 meg of RAM. If I open more than one or two windows with Internet Explorer, it crashes. I have to use the task manager to kill the program. NT itself doesn't go down, but if Micro$oft can't get its own programs to run right why should they get others. Just my 2 cents.
You can use apple script to script your system, can you do that on Win9* no. You don't even have to know apple script. You can hit the record button and let it write the script will you do what you want the script to do.
How come everyone assumes that Macs are toys. You can customise you system just as much as you can with Win9*. True it is not as good as Linux, but it is powerful for new users and since when is complexity better? You don't want to have to type in web addresses every time you go to a site so you use bookmarks, but that is simpliar, we sould throw it out. No there is a good balance. I think that OS X will have enough power like in Linux but also the simplicity of a Mac.
