[Tfug] Steve Jobs has passed away

[keith smith]

The guy told me he was tired of "media" not working out of the box with Linux.  So he uses MACs for his desktops because he likes a Unix machine that just works and has a Unix command line so he can manage his data center.

I don't follow the premise..
 
His servers are Mac? or his desktop is 
mac?
 
Been hearing the, "it just works" line prior 
to when I was forced to use a mac using System 7.something.
 
Ok let's consider that. But in relation to having a 
Unix shell?
 
How does that manifest itself in real world 
situations, mac fans?
 
-OR- what horror stories can be told that were 
solved by using a mac? (apples to apples, pun intended...)

I know a guy who owns a data center.  He told me 
        he uses the MAC because he wants everything to work out of the box and 
        he wants the Unix shell so he can do his job.  

I think all 
        of his servers are CentOS & 
        RHEL

          Yes,
    I remember going to TFUG 
          meetings, and seeing some TFUG-ers
showing off their iPhones, so 
          there is no denying his influence as a marketing
genius even over 
          our crowd.
     You're talking to a guy who 
          likes to build his own systems under Gentoo
and build/configure 
          kernels. I linux that's possible to do, but I can see how 
          the
average Apple customer would cringe at the thought of 
          that.

          on.
