I choose to take issue with that statement. IMO, a Macintosh IS the only "proper" computer - but I won't get into that debate here. Please DO NOT flame Macintoshes in the future, it doesn't belong here! As far as the IBM-compatible platform goes, FreeBSD does seem to be the way to go for an OS. Our FreeBSD machines are the only IBM-compatible machines which do not require any support (after we set them up properly in our developmetn lab).
