Haha - I've got a Mac, but that made me laugh. I do hate the evangelism from some Mac people, though. Use what you're happy with ... it's only a computer for fuck's sake.

Even though i use windows, i hate MS.

I also dislike Macs because of their poncey, conceited, Hoxton esq, "professional", "better than you" image.

I'd rather have a mac though if i was able to run the software i wanted. Either that or Ubuntu - when i grow some fucking balls!

But like you say chris, it's only a fucking computer!

Yep, use what works for you. If that's a PC or a Mac, then great.

BTW, Ubunta does look mighty good too. Used Linux a few times and it's a good way of extending the life of a PC if Windows is getting too slow on it.

I use a mac, but that's mainly due to my job.

I downloaded ubuntu a while back. Never got round to installing it. I'll wait until I get round to buying another new hard drive now though. Could do with a seriously updated computer but can't be arsed. I love my 550mhz of aceness.

All i know is that it's supposed to be very fast, amazingly stable and auto configures on 90% of PCs due to having nearly all the drivers built into it. Never used to though, Linux traditionally is quite scary, but Lindows and Ubuntu seem to have rectified that.

I have a friend who raves about it, but still says Redhat (I think, but could be another Linux version) is better. He's a sad IT type though and i think Redhat's one of the more hardcore Linux versions.

I'd be wary of running Redhat on a PC, it's more of a server OS.

I know little of Linux, i just know a mate which loves it. He may not have Redhat in that case.

Redhat does seem to be for servers. I suppose he may work with corporate networks, as he does work in IT, but tbh, i do not know.

I like the look of the cube vista style application switcher on Ubuntu...like aero but all your apps are on a cube which you can rotate!
