It runs linux quite well

Really? I like my iBook just fine except for the fact that I have to run OSX on it because Linux doesn't have driver support for the Airport card. And the power management in OSX is just too amazing to live without. But I deplore OSX otherwise and would live with lengthy suspend/resume times (as opposed to the instant suspend/resume I get with OSX) if it meant I could run Linux on it instead. (FreeBSD or OpenBSD would do me just as well, if not better.)

One reason is Apple's hardware is a whole lot nicer than that bottom of the barrel barely suitable for a doorstop dell.

Please, stop being so irritating. On OSNews I am tired of too many people that are not able to recognize humour. The first post was : "It runs linux quite well ;-D". Do you see the smiley at the end? That's means that the post is meant to be funny! As I read the comments, it indeed made me laught!

I find it curious the odd acrimony Mac folks seem to have for Dell. Have you ever owned a Dell? Some of their notebooks (like the Latitude subnotebooks) are very good.
