It's not a Mac vs. PC issue. Linux is platform-agnostic. There's 
already a version of Linux (Yellow Dog) that runs on G5 Macs. Making it 
the fastest Linux going in a desktop personal computer.

But the problem is a complete lack of professional graphics apps. GIMP 
is not capable of replacing Photoshop, and won't be for some time, if 
ever. How do you replace Quark or InDesign? Illustrator? It just can't 
be done.

Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad
