Which version did you use? With Mac OS X things have changed A LOT, and you might want to give it another shot. I've been using it since system 6 (good 'ole SE/30).

I currently use Windows 98 SE, which is probably MS's best operating system, but it still does my head in!

You're probably going to find a lot of people here with a different opinion....

I think 2000 was the best os from MS. At least for me. It was no hassle, no bullshit interface, and relatively painless to use. However. OSX is my #1 os. I will never go back to using windows as my primary os.
You might enjoy Mandrake Linux. It almost replaced OSX as my desktop os ;)

Well, before you try anything as complex as OpenGL, SDL (Linux games, including UT 2004, use OpenGL + SDL to get the same level of quality Direct3D has, so you'd better learn OpenGL and SDL if you're into that, it's the future ;) ) or C++, it's a far better idea to learn a more simpler programming language like PHP, BASIC or JavaScript to see if programming is something for you.

Thanks for that mate! I'll use that advice when I find something to learn the languages from. I can already do JavaScript, though not very complicated stuff.
What is SDL? I've never heard of that one before.

Simple DirectMedia Layer.
It's cross platform and very easy to bind with almost every language.
If you want to learn programming I suggest starting with Python.
It's easy, free and still powerfull.
