Star Why I Ditched MacOSX for Linux - A Yellow Dog Linux 3.0 Review
Linked by Jon Atkinson on Tue 20th May 2003 18:14 UTC
Linux 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.

Dumb?

Nom seems to think that the OSX to YDL was a kind of troll, or written in a way to get our attention.

Thats what you call journalism. Thats why they call a Lead Line a well, Lead Line.

Although I dont think it really was intentional, I think the author just followed a logical progression in his thinking, ie. I used OSX, wanted to like it, didnt work so well on my machine, tried YDL, report on the experience.

But never the less, this makes for good telling. If he had started some other way, and but OSX in the middle, someone would have complained that he was trying to "hide" his message of OSX bashing in the article.
