First post (sort of)
Well, I'm a switcher since a couple of hours, and it's been sorta fun. Finding my way around a new OS, especially one I've never really worked with, brings all sorts of surprises with it. So far, it was fun, and the kids sure like the form factor of Dad's new toy. On the This could have been better-list however are: iCal sucks since it bombs out when trying to import a Mozilla calendar file. And the Mail client that comes with OSX 10.2.6 isn't even worth bothering with, since it slows down to a crawl when trying to open my IMAP mail. So I installed my default internet clients from my PC: Firebird and Thunderbird. Even with the low version numbers, they seem to hold up well. Safari looks kinda nice, but not worth the change from Firebird IMHO. And the Wifi range definitely could be better. And I already managed to crash the Finder while accessing a Linux-based SMB share. Nevertheless, it sure beats the PC in terms of coolness, and now that I switched my shell from tcsh to bash, I'm feeling almost at ease.Comments
Now you only have to install Fink and enjoy all the linux software you're used to.
