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.

Yes it's a YellowDog review, but the first page is basically a performance complaint with Mac OS X. And a lot of his points are perfectly valid, no one's arguing that it's a speed demon. I was just pointing out that one of his complaints, "Simple little things can kill your computing morale; I don't want to watch an icon bouncing up and down while an application starts; I want those extra cycles put to use to make said application start faster in the first place.? Is right there in the preferences.
I've got no problem with him liking YellowDog more. I haven't had the chance to try it lately but it and RedHat 9 actually look very pretty to me and the distro comming with rpm and apt in harmony sounds great to me.
