5 Things Linux does better than Mac OS X
,----[ Quote ]
| I’ve been using Mac OS X alongside Debian since 2007 now, and I think I have
| a fairly good picture of how things work in both operating systems. In the
| end, the only feeling I got of Mac OS X is as if I were playing with Linux’
| retarded little brother. Here are a few reasons why.

| Software Installation

| File Management

|
| Themeing and Window Management
|

|
| The terminal/console/text thingy

Three reasons why GNU/Linux is better for Web servers than OS X
,----[ Quote ]
| Apple's OS X, which has been an official certified Unix system for some time
| now, is often installed onto Internet-exposed or intranet-only Web servers
| for serving up dynamic content. I've worked with such configurations for a
| couple of years, and with GNU/Linux alternatives for even longer. There are
| at least three reasons why GNU/Linux systems do the job better.
|
| [...]
|
| Updates and software installation can be a pain, and you're likely to find a
| cheaper, more flexible, better-working, and better-performing solution with
| GNU/Linux at a lower price.

HP Won't Issue New Drivers For Leopard, Tells You To Buy A New Printer

| I recently ditched Windows XP at my house, and have moved to the Macintosh
| platform (and converted my PC machines to Ubuntu)
|
| I've had zero issues with the conversion, except for my HP "all in one"
| scanner/pc/fax machine. Although I can get it to work just fine with Ubuntu,
| I cannot scan from OS X Leopard.

Why Mac OS isn't the best OS around
,----[ Quote ]
| Finally, while Mac OS X is the security nightmare that's Windows, it's also
| less secure than Linux. In particular, I'm not quite sure what features Apple
| had in mind when they created QuickTime, but security clearly wasn't on the
| list. For example, in the last QuickTime update, the third of 2008, Apple
| fixed eleven!-count 'em eleven-security bugs.
|
| I love Mac OS, I really do, but as lovely as it is, it's not my true love
| when it comes to desktop operating systems.

What is the coolest thing you can do using Linux that you can't do with Windows
or on a Mac?
,----[ Quote ]
| Someone asked me this recently. I don't have just one answer. I compiled a
| list of things I thought of and emailed it to my friend...then I thought I
| would post it here for future reference. Feel free to add to the list! There
| is also a forums thread on the same topic, that I remembered as I complied my
| thoughts, so I stole some of the ideas posted there.
|
| 1. Upgrade to the newest version legally and without paying money
| 2. Have the latest version of the operating system run faster than the
| previous version on the same hardware
| 3. Easily install and run different graphical interfaces if I don't like the
| default setup
| 4. Install twenty programs with one command
|
| [...]
|
| 21. Use almost any hardware and have a driver for it included with the
| operating system...eliminating the need to scour the internet to find the
| hardware manufacturer's website to locate one
| 22. Get the source code for almost anything, including the OS kernel and most
| of my applications

Why Mac OS X Sucks and Linux Rocks
,----[ Quote ]
| For now, I decided to quit using Leopard (except when I want to take funny
| and distorted pictures), and I am more determined than ever in making Linux
| (Xubuntu) fully compatible with my Macbook Pro. You may ask why I think Linux
| rocks.
