Doc Nagarjuna uses Gnome on his G4 laptop and so do a
host of other
users here in India, many on this list, who have remained silent for
some unfathomable reason. The Mac Mini ought to satisfy the needs of
any power Linux user.

And yes, Macs cost a lot more than a cheap PC. But if you are looking at
a branded higher end laptop, then the cost is equivalent.

Anything "Apple" is best bought in the US. AFAIK Apples have very less
penetration in India just because they follow the same pricing structure
world-wide without taking PPP into account.
The amounts one pays is thus huge. Add to that taxes as a percentage and the
price becomes astronomical.
Unless of course, you want to make a style statement or are into using a
particular suite of creative applications, you can do very well without a
Apple.
Again, I doubt if you can procure Apples in a piecemeal fashion from a
hardware market; because Apple's computer hardware platform is the "IP" of
Apple, and they disuade third-party manufacturers from making mainstream
components.
