My primary function is that of a graphic artist - i use Apple computers primarily because of it's status and it's software compatibility. I can't work on a machine using Ubuntu, so won't use it until i can. i have experience with it because of my hobbyist effort at keeping older machines alive, not giving in to the fact that these machines are so readily disposal. Ubuntu has breathed usability into many of my older machines (Powerbook G3's, Daystar desktops, etc.) that finally had new technology catch up with them. I love the way Ubuntu looks, i love it's open source stance, but as a sort or 'tinkering pro-sumer" sort, i've found it to not last through a few hours of my business day before i have run out of tasks that i can complete on that machine. I always move on to my OS X machine. i need to do my job. My primary function is that of a graphic artist – i use Apple computers primarily because of it’s status and it’s software compatibility.

Its very clear that the quality is there and the pioneering visions, just a common framework needs to be established.. By the way, Ubuntu is an excellent distribution, have been in the Linux field since Red Hat 4, Ubuntu made me switch 100% to Open Source, very nice distro..
