I am a Unix junkie. I love Unix. Solaris, *BSD, Linux, you name it.
I agree with you wholheartedly. I was tired of the direction that Linux (how many distributions?) was taking and I sure as hell wasn't going to touch Windows. Solaris is great for servers, and I've always been a BSD kind of person myself.
What did I do? Bought a PowerMac G4 back in January and have not looked back. Sure, there's lots of kinks still needing to be worked out (not too thrilled about HFS+), but there tons of apps (try running WC3 on a Linux box), and Aqua is just beautiful.
Oh yeah, I can muck around with the OS on the shell, too.
Macs aren't only for people that are afraid of computers anymore.
No trolls here. Just using the best OS that there is out there currently and it even feels more mature than Linux in many respects.

I recently bought a new iMac and switched over to OSX.
My experience includes primarily Solaris, FreeBSD and a smidgen of everything else.
I love OS X. It is by far the best UNIX OS I have ever used. I just wished they would get rid of Netinfo.
I ordered mine on 1/24 and it ships this week.
Better to have any bugs fixed at the factory.
I ordered the 800/SuperDrive model.
very much alive and kicking. as fast and secure as ever.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!
Sorry, had to laugh...
This will be very good for OpenBSD.
I use both OpenBSD and FreeBSD. I have to say
that OpenBSD is extremely well-suited for security
and is an impressive OS.
Anybody else have problems with Netscape 4.7 on /.?
FreeBSD or Linux constantly bombing out when
viewing
It happens often when I hit the "Back" button.
Hrmm....
