    I should, and I used to, but I am constrained to use Windows at work, so Cygwin makes it bearable. And because of the number of hours I spent in front of Cygwin at work it became the default at home at some point when a Linux box died and I bought another box that came with Windows. Prior to that point I would have prompted replaced the OS on the box with GNU/Linux. I was even doing that with MacOS back when MacOS was not a UNIX.

    You mean you bought a mac just to install Linux on it? Don't get me wrong but... don't you think the hardware was a bit too expensive for that?

      I wasn't very smart. :) I used to love MacOS back in the day and I wasn't 100% Linux then, either. Then I discovered how cheap it was to buy a Windows box and put RedHat on it and discovered I liked that even better than MacOS.
