[Tfug] Yes, I remember how I claimed Apple was at war with Hackintoshes.

I've learned over the years that most people who compare the ease of use of Linux to that of OS X have next to nothing in terms of experience in OS X. They've just heard "OS X=easy." and the rest emerges from the butt. Thats why I offered to let him borrow my Hackintosh. 

Cheers,

So how about a mini review comparing and contrasting OS X on a netbook 
with Ubuntu 9.10 Netbook Remix? I think that would be interesting to 
many people. "Easily" isn't really too descriptive...
