You do have a point there, the fonts on OS X look really sleek 
and seem to be well integrated throughout the system, though I 
don't think you were comparing your experience on Linux to your 
experience on OS X[1]

As per Linux fonts, the fonts on the SuSE 9.3 I'm typing this on 
(err talk to Kiggs) are more than readable, they're really fine. 
Also SuSE comes with an RPM which will install the MS fonts for 
you. Haven't used Debian/Slax that much so I wouldn't know how 
SuSE and Debian compare fontwise.[2]

Having said that, comparing OS X to OS 9 I think Apple has made 
steps forward, not back. Many UNIX diehards are actually using 
them since Apple put bits of the FreeBSD kernel (5.x at the 
time) into it. Net result: more people will move from Linux/UNIX 
to Macs than the other way round[3]. Of course that's just IMHO.

[1]from the headers of your email you are using Microsoft Outlook 
under windows.

[2] though I'd guess there's a deb package you can apt-get to 
install the MS fonts

[3] case in point: go through your LUG folder and check how many 
posts are made from mail2.app MUAs.
