And from my personal experience (maybe it’s cosmic rays maybe my bad luck) but the more I use it the more unstable it seems to me. I have server in remote location, with only SSH access to it, and RHEL Linux managed to corrupt FS on two different hard-drives (over 4 years after about ~2 years of uptime).

Besides RHEL documentation looks like a half-finished ENCS282 project. And many more little and big things to rant about.

Apple have a long way to go on X86, for the next ~5 years most on the software will run on emulator becuase I don’t think that Adobe/Macromedia/Game publisher will give you X86 version of the software you already bought.
