Just out of curiousity, why replace OSX with Centos?

'Cause it's just better. Among other things, MacOS has the following problems
that DRIVE ME UP THE WALL:
1) Multiple Desktops, or, at least, the lack thereof. Yeah, Leopord will come
with 'spaces', but if it isn't released, it isn't released.
2) Application windows don't alt-tab between them. So, if you have two or
three terminal windows open, you have to use the mouse to switch. (AGUHG!)
3) The dock is easy to use, but just irritating to me. It succeeds in being
pretty and consuming useful desktop space without providing much useful
information at all. It's like a pretty girl with rocks in her head - nice to
look at at first, but no fun to live with!
4) No task bar. (Hey, it's easy to jump straight to whatever you want by
hitting the button, without having to "hunt" for it based on whether or not
you minimized it)
OTOH, I have to support Mac OSX with our client-side software - so being able
to run Linux, Windows, and OSX on a single machine without alot of pain would
be very, very nice. (but I'm starting to get my reservations)

Not debating anything here, but just wanted to point out...
1) very true
2) works for me and every mac I have.
3) I take the apps out, shrink the icons and "auto hide" it.
4) expose - pretty cool shortcuts there.
