i think that Linux is better then Mac OS because its open source and that helps me.

Darwin is open source.

good point, but is it free software and GPL or BSD licenced?

this is the problem with the obfuscation of the term 'open source'.

I think darwin is free, at least the kernel and some BSD parts.  When you buy os x your pretty much paying for the Agua GUI.  You can get some of the source code here:

[EDIT]You can read their license [Apple Public Source License (APSL)] here:

Hell no, that's Red Hat Linux 8.

I'm using wine/winex (winex for games and wine for everything else)  I have .exe files associated with wine; it's really slick.  I can launch any win32 program by double clicking on it.  And the IE icon is purely a joke (although I do have an IE skin for mozilla that makes it look identical to IE)
