I fucking know Linux runs everything but I meant to say that most of us that use small scale servers don't even give Linux a second thought. Our lab just reclaimed an old G4 tower and retasked it as a server. And as far as certifications, I actually knew more after three months on the job than some of the MCSE asshats I worked with at my tech job in college.

Re-purposing an old PC with linux to do server tasks is pretty easy

The last thing I want to do is hand hold a Linux n00b :P

Macs are for those who don't want to know why their computer works.
Linux is for those who want to know why their computer works.
DOS is for those who want to know why their computer doesn't work.
Windows is for those who don't want to know why their computer doesn't work.

I'm a mac girl. I had a functioning apple 2e that I wrote my college papers on. I have a MacBook Air (a gift from jackass), a mac mini that replaced my G4 iMac who had a circuit board blow this past winter. It's still in my office. I had an airport express that I just gave to one of my twitter followers. I have an older ipod (16 gb) that stays plugged into my iHome, and an iphone. The ex got my 12 inch PB, and his mom got my 13 inch G3 iBook.
I watch the keynotes that Jobs gives. I will refer to him as 'his steveness'. I really want an iPad, but I don't think that I could justify that, because I don't need 3 computers at home.
I hacked my iMac to run 2 continuous monitors (seriously, once you go this route, you will never go back, esp. if you do photo manipulation or cytometry) and it had 2GB of ram before that was cool (specs say it'll only run 1).
I really want a MacQuarium too.
(Just a little bit of a fangirl).

Huh...I have a laptop that belongs to work and a 5 year old iPod nano. My car is worth $200, and I have enough debt to keep me working till I'm 90 (cos I'm never gonna save money).
How do y'all get these nice things?

hee hee! this whole string is cracking me up. Of course, I have had a beer (or two). I just looked around and realized that I am a Mac FanGrrl, just like Geeka! Who knew. But I HAVE been trying to justify getting an iPad even though I have two iPods, an iPhone and a MacBook Air.
Please don't hate me, Overlord! I'm technically challenged and they are just SO PURDY

I suspect the Overlord might be outnumbered here. I have two iPod nanos, an iPhone, a Macbook Pro, an old G4 Powerbook and an iMac. And then in my lab... :-)
@Tideliar: If it's any consolation I won one of the nano's in a competition. Alright, so that's not much consolation.
@Brian: cat 'Mac vs. PC' | grep 'mac hatred' > /dev/null

@Odyssey, DIAF.
I gave away my iPod Shuffle. It's the only apple product I've ever owned (I got it for my birthday from my fiancee before she knew how much I hated apple) and I used winamp to put the music on it because iTunes makes baby Jesus cry.

Now that's just plain mean.
And by mean, I mean making me look it up in at Urban Dictionary. I'm old ya know. Old enough I was using Unix before Linus Torvalds was out of his diapers. Now be nice or I'll unleash awk and sed upon your sorry arse!
