I love PCs as well. But by PC I mean Personal Computer, a category which all desktop computers fall into. 
No, I like the x86 machines as well, because I can get a very old, cheap machine and run a nice BSD firewall with no problems. Of course, I have no need for a firewall currently, but I could do it if I needed it.

most likely you will see a notable difference
is photoshop, dreamweaver, premiere and after effects available on linux? if so, i'd switch back in a second!
i used to have linux... Redhat 6.5, but since i couldn't do anything with it since i didn't have a supported net connection, i removed it...

Posting from Mozilla 1.0rc2 on RedHat 7.3. I love it! I wish I could just obliterate my Windows hard drive on this machine, but I've got too much "production" work to do on it.
Yeah, PCs are okay, but Macs are still da bomb. For instance, this mozilla browser (and Linux browsers in general) displays webpages NASTILY. YUCK.

Hey, so what do you have in your collection these days (and what are you missing
To tell you the truth I have not added anything new in my collection this semester (damn classes
)I *tried* getting Plan 9 and Inferno working (free operating systems for x86 by Bell Labs) under VPC, but everytime I create a Plan 9 bootfloppy (virtual one), VPC doesnt recognize it and its just a mess
Once I am done with everything (this friday) the quest continues
Should be an eventful summer

I love PCs, but I hate windows
Why do I love PCs ? cause I can run A LOT of OSes on them and experiment for a long long time
I am an OS addict
Time to make the treacherous Admiral walk the plank!

Folks, windows is here to stay. So is unix/linux. So is apple.
Accept and embrace or be bitter and angry. It's a choice, but until the corporate world turns away from Redmond, you have no choice but to include it in your list of skill sets. you don't and you're nothing but a niche player. Just like VB programmers.

I would have to agree with you....especially since you are running Red Hat 7.3!!
How about some Slack 10.1 on that machine running RH 7.3?? Very lean and very current, especially with a nice desktop environment like XFCE. Plus, you can have the latest version of Mozilla Firefox (1.0.2) from linuxpackages.net or download it from Mozilla's site. Renders pages fine for me.
Sure, it's not a Mac, but it definitely wouldn't be Windows.
