I realize you probably don't make those distinctions, but I actually take
offense at OS X being equated with linux. And I respond to DC regularly so
I don't take offense at the drop of a hat.
If you would like to take a look at actual linux, Ubuntu 7 just released,
Feisty Fawn. The install CD is actually a live CD, so you can boot off the
CD and poke around a bit if you like. Beryl is installed but not enabled
by default, and if you turn it on you'll have all the eye candy you could
possible want, and not be stuck with a proprietary OS.

>Thad - have you used/are you using XGL/Compiz? I came across a video
demo of it - looks like it blows away the eye candy of Vista and OSX, at
least from what
I saw in the video. A bit over the top for normal audio or business app
use, but I'm impressed
lots of cool workflow possibilities there.
If we were to get widespread audio app and driver support (and a few other
apps/tools I would be dead in the
water without), I would happily move to Ubuntu, but that's probably a long
way off, if ever.
Is it possible to network an Ubuntu/linux system with Windows XP machines?
I might consider
dual booting my laptop just for the heck of it. I'm guessing it is, at
least on the linux end...

Dedric
