I'm sorry. I'm doing just fine with my home-built computer. :p
I don't like macs because I like RedHat? No, that's not what I would have said. Maybe something to the effect that I like RedHat because it's Linux.
I do remember your friend freak saying that RedHat sucks (the following word eludes me at the moment). Maybe you and he should be duking it out. I've got no problem with Linux on any computer, I'm just saying that it originated on PC based systems. In fact, I tried to convince the sysadmin to get some macs with Linux installed on them. That, of course, was after I asked about getting a lab or so of PCs. You know what the answer was? "There's no room in the budget." Ouch, that hurts. I'm told the middle school has a full lab of G3s, and the high school has somewhere around... about 20. No room, eh? Lies from another avid *mac* fan. Tsk, tsk. Maybe if she would have just said "I don't understand the glory of PCs," then I would have understood, but lying to cover it up? No, that's not the way.
I don't use a pentium. I use a celeron. :)
: I just got my new Power Macintosh G3 / 300Mhz and installed MkLinux as my "alternate" OS, and you know what I found? It supports and will run REDHAT LINUX on my PowerPC microprocessor, completely native -- no emulation. You once argued that you didn't like Macs because you like Redhat. Well, i guess it's time to toss the ol' pentium-chugger, eh?
