Jeremy Zawodny has dumped his MacOsX LapTop for an Ms Windows laptop. A modern desktop experience such as Knoppix (LinuxOS) running [KDE] is actually quite more usable in many respects than Mac OS X. For starters, I don't find myself grabbing for the damned mouse nearly as often... Here's the funny thing. I've found that nearly every one of the Open Source applications I've installed seems to work better and significanly faster on this machine than on my nearly new Powerbook... Even if I could run the applications I need on LinuxOS (several are missing), that wouldn't be enough. Linux still has poor support for hardware - especially in the LapTop world.
