I have to say that I still prefer Mac OS X over Ubuntu, although I do envy you because of Aptitude. Every time I run "apt-get upgrade" on a server I wish that it was just as easy on my MBP.
Ubuntu is definitely my second favourite OS though. Hopefully the changes in 9.10 will help them to increase their market share and convert some Windows users. The "100 paper cuts" initiative was a genius idea. Kind regards, --------------------------------------------------- Keri Henare (Views expressed are not necessarily those of my employer.)
