The Ultimate Question: Mac or PC

Ill just say that my g/f is in infography right now, she only lives by MAC, and since she bought her MacBook last summer she wont touch a PC again.


I bought a 20'' iMac a month ago, stuffed it with an extra 2gigs of RAM (for a total of 3gigs) and its the best thigns I'Ve ever used... just SO easy for everything, never a problem... there's no contest realy, unless you wanna play very high end games, but then again with bootcamp you can have windows and everything's fine

Could I see some screenshots of Linux?

That might be it. A true install on a partition is the best way to go if you want everything to work right. Ubuntu 7.10 Gusty Gibbon comes with Compiz Fusion installed. Might want to give it a shot, several friends had it working flawlessly, even on the LiveCD. Another great aspect of Linux distros, LiveCDs :DArkasai7

Easier and more enjoyable to use. Mac OS X has a much better interface and, from my experiences, is considerably faster than Windows. Also, it has better built in features than Windows, though Vista copied many of them, but not all since Leopard was recently released.SolidSnake35

KDE FTWArkasai7

Maybe. but definitely for beginners Gnome is better. But you can get a ton of the ease of use benefits so long as you have one of the distros with Synaptic.

Gnome is definitely the environment to be in for beginners, I'd say Ubuntu especially because there's a huge user base and lots of support on the forums. I now use PCLinuxOS 2007 (Mandriva based)Arkasai7

I've had a few issues with resolution on PCLinuxOS..otherwise I would use it. Last time I tried messing around in X.org conf I screwed up the install somehow, so I'm still sitting around on Ubuntu although next release I may try Kubuntu and I plan to try loading Fluxbuntu on an old system..once I've tried getting DSL on it.
