Some people say a lot of Linux people are leaving Linux for OS X. Have you heard anything about that? I use OS X in my daily work, and it is nice, but I am also interested in Linux for (1) less dependency on one company (Apple) and (2) cost (you can have lots of machines relatively inexpensively) and also Linux seems faster than either Windows or OS X.
Of course the "polished application" base of both Mac and Windows is still better. doug [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Tuesday, December 25, 2001): >On Monday 24 December 2001 12:47, you wrote: >> On Monday 24 December 2001 11:13 am, you wrote: >> > Now that I found a nice OS and a nice group of people to talk about >> > technical issues in Mandrake Linux I am wondering - how is the market >> > share of Linux coming along?
