OS X includes a Bash command line shell, and its Posix compliant. You can easily install the X11 windowing system and GCC. Many Linux apps will compile on OS X, so a lot of things you might want to do on Linux, you can just do transparently with OS X. However, you will also get all the applications and user community of the Mac environment, which is a good thing. Mostly, the main drawbacks to OS X over Linux are that you can only run it on Apple hardware, and that you don't get the nice package managers that distributions like Ubuntu have. Hi Mathew,

We have mostly been running Linux at home with one PC for work purchases. Linux has been fine for us for security issues but there some usablity issues I am concerned iwth. How do you like it compared to Linux? Why did you get the 1.6 GHZ instead of the 1.8 ? Matthew Hi:
