    Absolutely beautiful OS, It makes me miss my Ubuntu box. I am using Apple imac with Leopard, and Windows Vista I love it, but still miss Linux. I just wish someone would work out the hardware compatibilities and codec licensing issues, so we can all go Open Source. Thanks for the great post!

    You can always install Ubuntu on iMac, it has iMac hardware support and use MacOS, Windows and Ubuntu on one system :)
