Just out of curiosity
I use OS X with my PB, and I like it so much I am willing to pay for an
upgrade or two.  However I have heard of people stripping off the OSX that
came with their Mac in favor of PPC Linux.  My question is why; what do
YellowDog, or Ubuntu offer that OS X does not? (Basically what am I missing
out on)
