But how does OS X perform for the following things: Coding(various languages and sorts of apps)
Not being a coder, I can't speak to this.
Yes, no, sort of. Many Linux apps have OS/X versions; some apps run on the X11 server that can be installed on OS/X.Can I run linux apps on it?
Also, you can go the other way; install Debian on a Mac laptop, then install MOL (MacOnLinux) and run OS/X on top of Debian, but there'll be some limitations.
I will be mainly coding on this little thing, email, and the usual things(research, research papers, etc)On what? OS/X? an iBook? a Dell laptop, as was mentioned in the post to which you replied?Does anyone code on this?
Am I wasting my time thinking about using this as my code machine for the next 4-5 years?Again, what do you mean by "this". I saw no reference to any particular machine in the post to which you replied, except your "only other alternative" of an iBook.
