Alternatives to the Borg AKA Microsoft

I agree with you. Thats why Im going to be using FC4 till I can get more proficient. I apologize for stepping on anyones toes if I did. My hardware comes up fine in FC4. I was having problems with the sound card wich is ensoniq. I couldnt get my headset going. Im sure I contributed the problem. Fortunetly I have all my data files backed up. I can always reinstall my OS if I mess up.

Mac OS X will not run on generic x86 hardware. It'll still be $129, and will require Apple-branded hardware. They aren't "dropping the mac" and going to a software-based business model, they're changing processors from the PPC series to the IA32/IA64 series.
Also, I believe it's against forum rules to discuss piracy of software. Go OSS if you want free. If you're going to get commercial software, then do the right thing and freaking pay for it. Don't break the law.

Surprise surprise!
I have an Ensoniq AudioPCI as well in my machine, what is the model number, mine is ES1371 and I have no problems in Slackware 10.2 or any other distro I've tried in the past. :p

There's actually a coupon to get Linspire for free legally, but Linspire is the last OS I would recommend ... (I would never recommend Window$ ... not even to my worst enemy .. I'm evil, but not that evil :D)
dmcfarland:
I apologize for discussing that. I was unaware of that. Piracy will continue as long as companies continue to charge ridiculous prices for software. Im not advocating anyone do that, but I am just pointing out the laws of supply and demand. Thats another reason why I like Linux and open source concept. BTW whats OSS?
