Thanks for the informative endorsement, Scott!
I have to ask, though, how is graphic performance (i.e., with
Aqua), compared to ppc Linux or Yellow Dog Linux on the same hardware?
E.g., if I run several sets of graphic filters or script-fu in Gimp,
how would the fastest linux version be likely to compare against OSX in
terms of completion times?
Thanks,
-Jeff
