Its VERY tough to make Mac OS X users accept anything else. Unless they have a VERY clear reason, namely ``Freedom" they won't do so.
Namely "Freedom"? Naah. How about "user experience"? I use G/L on a PC, but Mac OSX on the laptop. I tried to switch to Ubuntu (great design, almost as good as Aqua features), but it won't recognise the peripherals.
Not working is not better than networking. And this is the latest distro, right out of the box. While my box is an old G4, with old peripherals (about 4 yrs). Give me a break, for heaven's sake!

For heaven's sake give ME a break! Everything except the internal modem works just fine on the G4 running Ubuntu Dapper, in fact its all auto detected. This has been tried and tested, and there is more than one user on this list currently running Ubuntu on a G4 laptop.
