[luau] OS X - Really a Unix that will let me run Mac?

[Jeff Mings]

Hello Charles,

    I am also secretly OSX, and would like to know:
How is the stability?  My linux boxen  have only _really_ crashed 
because of hardware problems or gross errors on my part (like kernel 
compiling errors) - how solid is OSX?  What hardware are you running on?
The Aqua interface is very pretty, but looks very CPU-hoggish.  How is 
graphics performance for games, image editing, games, screen updates, 
games, and games?  Also, is there an alternative "leaner" display manager?

Thanks for the info,

-Jeff
