After hearing a great presentation on Ubuntu Linux, I thought, “Why haven’t I switched to Linux?” I have been very tempted, but there are a few major applications that keep me on my Mac. Finale is a big, one. (Though I hear you can run Finale on UNIX with WINE pretty well.) Aquisition is not the only Limewire/Gnutella client, but it is far and away the best. Blurb’s Booksmart self-publishing software isn’t available for Linux yet. Journler is still Mac OS X only; so is Delicious Library. But the biggest reason has to be iLife. There are other iPod managers like iTunes (but, of course, no store) and there may well be programs for Linux like the iOthers, but together and overall, the suite is smokin’!
