The last day with OS X

For the reasons outlined in my previous blog post, I have completely removed OS X and replaced it with Ubuntu 7.10. For my day to day use, modern GNU/Linux distributions are far more suitable. Besides that, the hardware vendor lock in and the loss of the possibility to fix bugs, make it even less attractive.

So you found out. ;)
Daniel if you have tested it yet, I'd like to know how suspend-to-RAM and hibernation are working on that Intel chipset with Linux, and even more importantly, resuming from it. ;-)
Since I'm going to get myself a laptop with the same mobile Intel chipset.
And which kernel was that you're running?
Both suspend-to-RAM and hibernation work. Actually, I have used hibernate the last few days, rather than doing a normal poweroff. The kernel:
$ uname -a
Linux mindbender 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Sun Oct 14 23:05:12 GMT 2007 i686 GNU/Linux
(This is the current Ubuntu 7.10 kernel.)
Thanks!
I'm going to order a 14" screen C2D Zepto machine with all the centrino stuff. :-)
After Christmas, because you never know what the sales people are going to dump. ;)
Daniel,
i understand your point on removing OS'x, but is sill think OXS is a very good OS you should give more than 3 days to check out.
Nice blog !
