I use iBooks because the hardware is pretty good, highly portable and
inexpensive. Also my new G3 iBook is very portable. However I want to
run the same OS in the same way as my x86 servers, firewalls and
client's machines running in co-location facilities. For me Linux,
specifically Debian GNU/Linux gives this wondeful continuity across
platforms.
