Macs are nice, but I switched from Windows to Ubuntu...Windows-looking and acting, but everything works, and works much faster.
Linux is the true way.
Mac: Overpriced hippie computer.
Realistically it takes what system requirements? How much memory?
Which version (distro I guess you call them) of Linux are you running?
Thanks

True! Ubuntu works great. The only setback would be for gamers. Windows and Mac are becoming rather intrusive on personal info, IMHO. I think that this will continue to be the trend...sigh. Ubuntu is free and they don’t treat you like a criminal if you need to reinstall.
Ubuntu is nice. No doubt about that. But “Windows-looking and acting” is a bug, not a feature. Ubuntu is good, lean, tight OS for a netbook or internet appliance, and it’s definitely a step beyond the typical X11-on-Llinux kludge, but I’d like a cleaner interface.
I’m waiting for my SSHD upgrade to arrive, and then I’m going to Hackintosh my little Dell Mini. Of course, with my luck, but the time I’ve had that running for a month or two Apple will come out with a netbook.
I haven’t experimented with different shells for Ubuntu. There might be an interface out there that suits me better. But what I want in a laptop is something to download photos from my camera and sync my iPhone, in addition to the basic e-mail and Web browsing, when I’m on the road; I doubt I’ll find anything on Ubuntu that’s better than iPhoto, iTunes and Safari.
