They call him a polymath. But what would apple be without Woz?

          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.

                                                                                                                                                Erich

It's hard to describe, but he was part of something that I understood and was part of our history. He represented something important and vital. It was cultural and personal. When I first saw the add "Think Differently", I knew something was going on.

If media did not work out of the box then he might have tried Mint. Apple is the boutique of Computers. I think of them as the Picasso of computers built buy a master. Linux is built by masters that put the eyes in the same place as the rest of the world. Jobs Will be missed and I have owned very few of his products. But I have always liked his style.
