I am replying to myself, yikes!  I forgot to mention that for a long time my mail and webserver were on a mac se running netbsd.  ended up retiring it because it was too slow and too small a hard drive.

> I am a big mac user.  I had a mac 512k back in the day.  I currently own a G4 tower 733mhz, two ibooks - one is a new 12" ibook and the other is an old clamshell 366mhz.  I also have a mac duo.  linux on them?  no.  I ran linux on a powerbook in duel boot mode before os x.  OS X to me is the slickest desktop OS I have ever used.  I love that it is unix underneath and the gui and apple software works and is simple to use.  I do run puppy linux in a Virtual PC window just because it is cool.  My linux is installed on my intel pcs
