I want your "OS X v Wheezy" opinion for working. I've used Debian Testing as desktop for work and home for a while. I use Debian at work. Both now on Debian stable for the last two days or so ;) I've barely touched OS X, and aside from always forgetting how to do the voice input into the chess program, generally found out how to do what I need when I've had to touch it. That said for fiddling with server software it has always looked a bit painful on OS X, in terms of pre-packaged free software. The dev tools look nice, but it always seems to have something that makes it harder than using a Debian derived GNU/Linux distro. However I'm assuming these days I just create a virtual copy of Debian/Redhat/Centos/???BSD for all that, and can leave the Desktop unabused. Also find OS X user interface to be surprisingly inconsistent - certainly not obviously more consistent than say GNOME or Windows, which I was always thought was supposed to be a selling point. In which case does it matter much what OS I use for graphical desktop? Certainly it won't be Windows 8 (sorry two different variants of IE-10 with different bugs all simply makes me skin crawl). -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
