  • tj111, on 04/22/2008, -0/+8This is significantly better than all those "Windows user tries Ubuntu" articles that litter digg. It's well written from a very objective approach, and does a good job pointing out pros and cons of both operating systems (not just flaming one and praising the other).
  • ptFoe, on 04/22/2008, -0/+5Not a bad review for Ubuntu and Apple users in general.
  • jabz, on 04/22/2008, -1/+5Good Read! Thumbs up on this one...
  • Sammi84, on 04/22/2008, -0/+4Having an open mind is all it takes. I tripple boot win/macosx/ubuntu, and I'm happy with all of them. They all get the job done.

    Just that personally I feel at home in Ubuntu. Ubuntu is my tribe.
  • geoken, on 04/22/2008, -1/+3"But to actually switch to Ubuntu? Hmmm…I don’t know. I’d have a hard time leaving the Apple tribe. Years ago, before Linux was even invented, all of us Apple users were second-class citizens together. We lived in a big bad Windows world;"

    This guy acts like Linux came out in '02 or something.
    • gummih, on 04/22/2008, -0/+2Well I could just as well say that you are "acting like Apple came out in '92 or something".
      Apple IS a lot older than Linux, the Apple II came out in 1977.
      I use Ubuntu btw.
  • Soldierboi, on 05/09/2008, -0/+4Is an ugly mugshot a prerequisite for writing one of these articles? Cause if so, i'm gonna get crackin.
  • levirogers, on 04/22/2008, -0/+5I think overall this is one of the better articles I have seen come out of the Mac Fanboy world for awhile.
  • stratius, on 04/22/2008, -0/+2This seals the deal, after being an avid Red Hat, then Fedora Core user... then going back to windows for game dev, I too shall put Ubuntu on my laptop. The majour problems for me are not interface, but hardware and library support for development... I get the worst luck with driver-less wifi cards in Linux.
  • puelocesar, on 04/22/2008, -0/+2Fun review, but he just forgot that Mac OSX also have a command line :)
    (and leopard's one is very nice indeed)
