I entered the world of Apple hardware about 3 months ago now, with a second-hand iBook2. It was a 500mHz, 256mb, ATI Rage 128 model, with a standard CD-Rom drive. I spent the first few days trying to tweak Mac OS X to my liking, then a few further weeks installing and learning to use the applications I thought I'd need. Chimera, BBEdit, the developer tools, even the Fink X server so I could use Gaim.

...want to get an Ibook too.
I would be the same way with OS X, though. I mean, it is nice and everything, and it is Unix enough. But, I think it is just as difficult for anyone who has used Linux for a long time to switch, as it is for windows users. I wouldn't last 10 minutes with OS X. I don't like big, fat bloated GUIs, which is why I don't use Gnome or KDE. Give me fvwm, xterm, xfe, adie, firebird, thunderbird, prozgui, abiword & xmms and I am happy.
