Re: LINUX Workstations

[Mike <programmer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I will put it this way we used to have a local LUG (Linux Users Group), 
before OS X. They now call themselves a Unix-like users group. Most 
people there LOVE OS X. It is so pretty and from the little I have seen. 
It is a desktop (notice the distinction) OS done right. I think their 
server version is just as good. It takes away the difficulties of 
installing software that linux does (which is sometimes hard or 
confusing). Besides from what I hear it is the fastest platform for java 
as the VM is built into the core of the OS.
