How'd you manage to get 10.6.5? Software Update is telling me that my version (10.6.4) is the most recent.

I have a Mac OS X 10.5.8/Windows 7 Professional dual boot. Ever since I got OS X working, I've been hooked. I mainly use Windows at school for my Windows only apps, and Mac at home.

Typo guys - see what happens when you type under the influence of low blood sugar?

And I wished I worked for Apple or Google...

I dual-boot my laptop with Ubuntu and Windows Vista. Vista for gaming, Ubuntu for reading. Though I usually just use the one I'm currently logged into anyway. Right now I'm on Vista, because I've been playing New Vegas.

It might have been a typo.

Looks like I read too much into it. :lol: Anyway, it won't need to be a typo anymore.

Fedora 14 at the moment. Tried Arch Linux for a while but it didn't seem happy on my hardware. I was using Fedora 13 like that and I was very happy with it, even moreso with 14.

Someone asked me once:

"Are you more of a Mac, or PC person?"

I responded with "I'm more of a dual partition kind of guy."

His reply: "Is... Is that some sort of Linux?"

:lol:

He was half-right. I'm currently using Win 7, and Ubuntu.

Mint is quite nice. I haven't tried 10, but I was using 9 prior to install Fedora and it was very, very good. The only reason I moved to Fedora was because it worked better with my hardware (I couldn't get suspend to RAM to work on Mint, which is a feature I use quite regularly. It works flawlessly "out of the box" on Fedora, though).

Mint 10 is good. (I also did the path Mint 9 -> Fedora 14, and now to Mint 10). It's just really, really convenient. The included repos have Skype, Opera, Chromium, Dropbox, Virtualbox (proprietary version for USB support and other goodies) and tons of other stuff that doesn't get into the default Debian/Ubuntu repos for licensing reasons. Adobe Flash and Sun Java are installed by default. Driver support is excellent. Linux Mint is easier to set up properly on my Macbook than Mac OS X is. That said, if you already have an Ubuntu system set up the way you like it, there's little value in switching to Mint. If you're installing a new system, Mint is a lot more convenient and easier to set up.

My only real complaint is that they've now followed Ubuntu by using notify-osd (the stupid Growl-clone notifications) instead of the normal GNOME notification system, but that's about a 15-second job to fix in Synaptic.

I think it's Windows XP. I'd still be on '98 if my 'puter hadn't scrambled itself a few years back.
