:lol: Aw c'mon Anthony, it's not meant in a mean way (I think :ph34r: )

Seriously though it's a nice looking computer, that's for sure ;)

Anthony - sorry man if your s*** got derailed. It IS purdy, and to some that's all that matters.

Dub - Not going to try to start in on you, but you LEFT CS. PCs and Macs now network nicely because Jobs got his head out of his ass and started properly supporting the RFC for TCP/IP while still embracing AirPort and the like. Networking for the Internets is about more than the OS you run. That's the whole point of a computer network - platform independence for the masses. It just so happens your fabric is 99.99% PC at almost any given location.

As for apps, whatever. Bad ports, like I said, ruin good apps on both sides. Arguing one is better than the other just shows where the coding and testing dollars went (and who the target market is).

I don't thank anyone - just like a top-tier mechanic, we're charged with continually learning new s*** and keeping it all humming flawlessly. It's guys like me that make their s*** look good. Not bragging, but that's the life of a sys admin. It's "here's a system. Monitor it. Secure it. Improve it. Report on it. Make it as friendly as possible." Not too hard eh? Well, most days it's cake but you get my drift.

Steve-o. Click "Install Ubuntu" from the CD boot menu. Done. Answer questions. Done. It's fast AND it's secure. What more do you want? :)

As for Redhat and AIX, who cares? Redhat is Fedora with paid support, same as upper-tier MS paid support but without the user apps for the masses. AIX? I actually had to Google/Wiki that one. Power PC-based? I guess that's where all the old Mac parts went :P

Maybe the guys can split the s*** / my s*** / everyone else's s*** out of Anthony's shiny new Mac thread and we can discuss this further - Handicapped Parking or not.
