I just dont like mac at all for the simple reason I just dont like it lol. Im not comfortable on a mac machine so I wont use them but that isnt for any tech reasons so I dont insult them (much ). And yes celerons are WAY fucking slow I dont think intel even makes a 2.4 celeron. Mine is a 1.3 and its a only 2 years old.

Dyshade I recomend playing around with linux some for fun If you have a strong working knowledge of how windows works which you seem to you shoul;dnt have much trouble picking up on redhat at all even though its obviously not windows. Solaris though I cant recomend unless your planning on running a HUGE server like I am going to eventualy.
