What bugs me about Alan Turings test for intelligence only looks for human like intelligence. Consious congitive intelligence is what they should be testing for.
I'm guessing RedHat 5.2(snicker). You must be living in the future because Mac OS X hasn't even finished. You must have mistaken Mac OS X Server with Mac OS X. Mac OS X Server not consumer quality and not ready for the masses. The only thing that Mac OS X Server is good for right now, so I've heard, is as a streaming server.
Keep in mind that certain parts of quake were written in asm for x86. And using the frame rate as a bench mark just shows how little you know about what makes a computer work.
Computers are tools. The average user doesn't care how they work just as long as they can get what they want out of computers. Think of computers as tools. The easyier and faster the computer is, the more productive you can be. The average user probably doesn't need the power of a G4(unless they want to play games). This is also benificial scientists, desktop publishers, game designers, and crackers. The nice thing about the G4 is that it brings the prices for high performace machines down to affordable levels. And as for the dummying down of geeks. If you really want to learn about how a Mac works, just go to http://www.apple.com/developer/ and download all the tech manuals. A computer is a computer, you don't need a cryptic text based interface to know how a computer works. Home Page -> http://www.execpc.com/~zirman/

Sorry, G4s are not multi-core capable. Motorola dropped that for multi-processor capabilities. The G5 however will be multi-core capable.
LinuxPPC, need I say more?

Good news. Mac OS X is around the corner. Since it uses Mach to talk to the hardware, it should be easy to port Mac OS X to x86.
