Re: [PLUG] Without OS X


Yes, and Linux can "just work" once it's configured, usually in a server role. More recently, RedHat just works for me as a desktop, doing Web work.

When things "just work" you miss out on a lot of learning!



Um, precisely. It's all well and good to use tinker with an OS that doesn't Just Work if it's what you're interested in doing, but that's not computer use, that's computer tinkering. When I want to use a computer to get something done, it MUST Just Work or it's wasting my time.
