Interesting util, Clinton. The dual Mac/Linux configuration of many computers 
on this list makes me ask outloud something I've wondered (and fought with) 
myself: when do you use Mac OSX and when do you use Linux? 

I'm sitting on the fence and often, during the day, boot back and forth into 
the different operating systems. My system is a fence-sitter, also. It's a 
500Mhz G3 - not the slow 300Mhz version nor the fastest G5. My main use of 
OSX is when my daughter needs to play games online or when I tire of spending 
more time maintaining than using YDL. The three applications I must have are 
a flexible e-mail client (found in KMail in YDL and GyazMail in OSX), a Web 
browser (Firefox in YDL and Safari in OSX [why Firefox consumes 30% of the 
CPU in OSX and nearly 0 in YDL is a mystery]) and word processor (MS Word in 
OSX and KWord/Open Office in YDL).
