[QUOTE="Raevynn, post: 4396182, member: 1672"] I agree while linux is free and stable. there is a matter of support. and WINE is cool.. but unless you wish to invest time not for the timid. I have linux on several servers and it works great. I also have OSX Server running on a few too. When it comes to a desktop/laptop... My MacBook Pro is all I need. Been on 6 continents (not Africa yet... yes Antarctica...) and worked fantastically. I have had some h/w issues but Apple handled those fantastically. Now before you label me an Apple/Mac fanboy... I also run BOTH XP and Vista in VMWare on the MBP (MacBook Pro)... and mainly for RPG related stuff... and Quickbooks because the mac version blows... All in all.. it is what you make of it.. I used to travel 250+ days per year for the last 4 years.. and the stability and worldwide availability of support sold me, and payed off. As an example... I was traveling to Seoul Korean when I had my power supply stolen at LAX. I called AppleCare (their tech support) from the plane and they had one overnighted to my hotel in Seoul... that is support I have NEVER seen from IBM/Dell/Etc.... Hope this helps... remember.. no one can tell you what is right for you, spend the time to investigate... look at support, program availability and cost.. weigh the options.. then decide... If there are specific "does it do this?" type of things I am happy to answer if you need.... just PM or post here... [/QUOTE]
