A discovery of the allure of Mac OS 10

What is this load of Tosh Linux user?
Have you ever used a Mac?
Nearly everything you complain about is either non-existance or can easely be remedied.
The dock can be resized and hidden.
Duality is a free theme changer, and some themes are very light weight.
Aqua can be replaced or run alongside KDE, GNOME, etc.
Duble click speeds can be adjusted in the SystemPrefrences.
I run OSX server on an iMac 233Mhz. Is that low end enugh? Thr GUI is a bit slugish but its usable.
SMB is natively recognized. All SMB shares are accesible from the menu Go->Connect to Server...
Multiplr desktops are available in a free thrid party haxie.

Yer full of it, I respect your posts usualy, but use OSX before writting flame worthy crap like that.

osx handles nfs quite well even without telling it *anything*. tell it to mount an nfs share.... it will comply.
as for low end systems, i have a 233mhz 9500 running it. thats a 604e too. i also use all sorts of apps like photoshop and illustrator and other "burrowed" software and it perfoms very well. it is noticably laggy but what do you expect for a 7 year old computer running todays software, well close enough at os 10.1.5
thats the thing, is macintoshs have a great upgradability path unlike x86 which is very limited, but ill rant later

Ignore my rants, I was just feeling sorry for my little brother who was shafted by Apple via what is known as the eMac. We don't like Apple very much now, especially since they lied at tech support about being able to upgrade the video card, and when we called them about the OS not booting they went into some spiel about buying an extended warranty. I mean come on. And furthermore why does OS X *not* have a journaled filesystem?? This isn't Windows 3.1. The GUI rant above was just my annoyance with the default functioning of the OS in my experience. It takes some getting used to. But please ignore my post, if you love the Mac GUI then use it by all means.

Sucks that your brother had a horrible experience with apple. I have had a good experience thus far, so my opinion of apple computers is good. I am a huge fan of the gui, its simplicity and the features it touts are one of the reasons i switched from windows.
