Don't get me wrong. I like Linux. A lot. But it's far from trouble-free. In fact, the first thing I do after I install Linux (Fedora Core version whatever) is run up2date, which, if you don't know, is the equivalent to running Software Update on the Mac. Yep. Same process. But up2date has hosed my system a lot worse than any Mac update ever has. And don't even talk to me about hardware compatibility. Oy! Mac OSX may be frustrating at times, but for the work I do, it's still my number one choice. And though I bitch about it plenty, I do so out of love.
