this is turning into a flame war so i believe we should stop. anyone who likes mac go buy some, the ones who don't just don't buy one. it's that simple IMHO.
this is a technical forum and an excelent community, people share ideas, let's keep it this way. my 2 cents /v |

No interest in a flame war, just wondering why the suggestion was never made that you could do both, such as dual booting mac os x and freebsd with boot camp?

>Have you ever used Mac OS X? If you install X11 and MacPorts, then it feels no different than any other Unix out there. @ninjatux, yes I do know fink, macports etc. It comes not even close to FreeBSD ports. And if you install xcode and this and that ... , do you get it now? But of course you will not believe it, because the average Mac-user wouldn't think critical of his beloved Apple hardware But in the end it's just my opinion. Maybe you'll ask why I'm using it, because I do know what's the perfect tool for a certain task (e.g. Photoshop). And I'm using Apple for such tasks and FreeBSD or Linux for UNIX-behaviour. So do you understand? It's not flame-bait for the simple minded, it's distinguishing for mature users.

Remember folks, if you slap a GUI on Unix.. it's not Unix anymore, why? because Oliver_H said so.

Adding fuel to fire? No one is arguing wether OSX is Unix or not because now it _is_ Unix. Both oliver and gkontos are experienced *nix users and i am sure both have valid points. Most people need MS Windows or OSX for their "desktop" needs. Atleast with OSX you can drop down to a Unix command prompt (if you choose to). |

Just encase it wasn't apparent, I wasn't agreeing with Oliver at all...
I'll stop posting here, I'm not contributing very much to this post. |

You should get yourself a Linux laptop (a laptop from a linux OEM). Then you can stick BSD if you want. By getting a linux laptop, you get a box that is a bit more likelly to run BSD (since it already come with linux, the components in it are more likelly compatible with BSD) than a windoze box.
