So it's likely my next work box will be OSX.. Either that or a linux desktop box if it matures some more.
I'll most likely always need to have a windows box around though. It's unlikely the game situation will change anytime soon.

edit: oh yeah, keep a decent but not too expensive win box for games, and basically _nothing_ else.
has anyone here ever gotten samba to run???
dude, linux mature? maybe... get FreeBSD. tell me something you _can't_ do with FreeBSD. i wanna use the mac for all my design and video editing work. and i think i may have just scored a cheap hookup for mac hardware. they are so fucking expensive
. so, use the *nix for everything but design, i should be good to go.
as far as w2k/xp stability, they're both great, but 2 exceptions with w2k. first, do NOT use sp1, PERIOD. it can fuck up your FAT, and you lose everything really easily. use it without an sp, or get sp2. do NOT use sp1. also, it seems from my experience, when 2k crashes, it's DEAD. xp doesn't seem to crash. so don't bluescreen in 2k
