Linux vs MacOS 10..... Linux wins.
Anandtech ^ | September 1st, 2005 | Johan De Gelas

Signaling needs significantly more time in Mac OS X (Darwin) than on Linux. The processor plays a minor role: the Opteron at 2.4 GHz is a bit faster than the Xeon 3.6 GHz running exactly the same (x86) code. However, it is clear that the operating system plays a much bigger role: a 2.5 GHz G5 running Linux easily beats the identical system with a 2.7 GHz G5 running Mac OS X.

LOL!!!!! No, it's not the ink. Canon has see-through tanks and I have tons of ink on hand. I fill my own tanks. I wish you had been right, thought. I figured out ....finally. It's my printer heads. On both printers! What I did was borrow a print head from a friend's printer and put it on mine. It worked instantly. Now I have to figure out if I should buy two new printers or two new print heads. But first I'm going to try cleaning them out one more time. Thanks for chiming in, like I said, wish you had been right

So what? Contributors are still going to influence the outcome.

Mac lost me with this newest outrage of switching chips.

I will never buy a Mac again.

Assuming the author understood what they told him in first place. I seriously doubt any of those "contributors" wrote any of the article.

Linux vs. Unix vs. Linux

99% of users don't care.
Get it?

I'm running OSX, Fedora and XP. Two of the three don't get much use.
