    I'd be fine with that if it were like Mandrakes "community" and
"professional".  Share one, use the other.

    Look, comes down to this.  I'm tired of wrangling with my machine to do
anything on both sides of the fence.  Windows is pissing me off daily and this
constant fighting for the basic stuff now on the Linux side is pissing me off
just as much.  For a time my Linux box did what I wanted to do.  World zipped
by and not the restrictions are mounting.  :/

    If only more game developers would produce for the Mac I'd switch in a
heartbeat.
