I'm extremely bored right now and am downloading Ubuntu 5.1 Live CD (for PPC) and was wondering for those of you who use Linux and Mac OS X:
Why do you use Linux if you have Mac OS X? What applications do you run in Linux that you can't (or do not want to?) run in OS X?
Also, do you run Linux on an x86 or PPC processor?
One thing I've seen when downloading Linux apps is that some of the apps that aren't open source aren't available for PPC Linux, for example the Steam server (used for Counter Strike and Half-Life). That's kind of annoying
Another question: do you prefer KDE or GNOME? Also, what's the major differences (yeah, I could Google, but I want to hear personal opinions).
If future PC companies allow running multiple OSs at the same time with Intel's (or AMD's) new processors, I would be very tempted to get a nice PC laptop for running Windows and Linux at the same time. Heck, if Apple allowed this in their PowerBooks, that would be extremely awesome! mmm time to start saving up
