For years now we have heard about Linux on the desktop and its need to make a concerted effort to illustrate its value to the end user and whatnot. The point of it all being is that if we expect Linux to become a household name, we must find away to get it into the minds of the typical user, like we have seen with Windows.

Thank you for the tip about Psystar (http://psystar.com/). I hadn't heard of them. They may be what I'm looking for.

I have this dream. I want to simultaneously run Linux, OS X, Windows and NetBSD on the same machine at the same time using KVM. I don't know if it can be done, but Pystar looks like the right platform to try it on.

What is interesting is that a lot of people would rather buy a fake Mac...

I want to run BOTH Linux and OS X. Maybe a lot of people do too.

I fear you may mean keyboard-video-mouse switches, but I am referring to "Kernel-based Virtual Machine". http://kvm.qumranet.com/kvmwiki
