I still have my old Laptop set up with Ubuntu for when I want to experiment, it sadly doesn't often get turned on these days. Thanks for the Homebrew link, that looks great! I have been compiling stuff from source and using downloads from http://rudix.org/ to get some of the unix tools not available in OS X.

I'm using OS X as my main Desktop as well since a few weeks, with Ubuntu on the Netbook. Not using any of the other Apple-y stuff, though ;) If you want to have a good package manager, try Homebrew from http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/ - it's a bit more simplistic and sane than things like MacPorts or Fink. I do think that Ubuntu might become an option in a year or two (if they want) when they've cleaned up the Linux Desktop and hopefully switched to Wayland. Sounds good.

I had great luck with svn-1586 and had stability issues with some later versions. I'm setting up a new machine and am very interested in your opinion on this... Thanks...
