Nope, but he didn't say he was opposed to it either.
He basically said he has already tried LInux, but had an unsuccessful experience because of unsupported hardware and an inability to configure it. The most logical choice here is a Mac -- especially if he wants to keep using UNIX (which I'm assuming is true given the forum's name).
And how can anyone recommend BeOS to him? If he can't get Linux going on his hardware, what makes you think an OS with even tighter hardware requirements is going to work?
Even running Linux on a Mac is easier in some respects, since the hardware is so similar on each model. G3 iBooks make great Linux machines, superior to many x86 options in the same price range.

Be OS Max includes support for hardware that they never dreamed of when Be OS 5 was released.
