lol!

In its own way OSX is as miserable as Windows. Which would be fine if
it wasn't also so weird on the command-line. Leopard is a lot better
than prev editions but theres a LOT of weirdness in OSX. Authentication
& daemon management to name two are bizarre, poorly or undocumented and
quite user-unfriendly- the XML you have to wade through in OSX is a real
PITA- and don't get me started on how obnoxious Finder is.

Give me Gnome any day- and I'm no great fan of Gnome either.

Just got through bringing up an exim & courier-imap combo on a new OSX
box. Complete pain compared to Solaris/Linux.
