[QUOTE="MichaelMcEntire, post: 969573, member: 137029"] OnceYouGoMac : Really? I must admit, I will most likely be switching to Mac soon but I can't really say anything bad about Ubuntu. In fact over the last three years I think the few times I crashed my system could only be faulted to myself. Ubuntu, or Linux in general allows you to change anything you want all the way to the source code. Very cool but potentially dangerous if you don't know what your doing (many times I didn't). It gives you the choice to change things though, and choice in my opinion is always a good thing. I love the ability to open the package manager and choose from thousands of free software examples to install on my system. When I switch it will not be any lacking in Ubuntu that spurs it, it will be mostly to try something new. Other factors include for me certain hardware compatibilities, again not Ubuntu but the manufactures and their desire not to share drivers that cause this. Another reason will be hardware on a different level, I simply love Apple hardware design and functionality. Sorry you had a bad experience with Ubuntu, their are many others who use it all the time with no issues. [/QUOTE]
