Nice one. Sorry about my rambling - but it was an unrehersed voice comment.
In other news, scary red demons attack my screen.

Thought you guys would enjoy this recent posting from a friend of mine on Ubuntu. I just recently switched to a MacBook Pro and I love it. Charles you should really give it a shot! I’ve been a Linux guy for years and OS X just simply blows anything I’ve used away.

Aaron: there is no problem.
Ron: I know, it’s weird, huh? There are conflictinga anecdotal studies of Ubuntu vs. OS X ;) It seems like there’s this large mid-range of people who don’t want Windows, want something Linux-y, but don’t want the fuss of all that Linux, even if it’s just “one simple thing” like getting a wifi card working. I couldn’t get my wifi card working out of the box either for my trashed Dell.

WiFi cards were HELL for me in Ubuntu as well. Just horrid support, I suppose.

I think the deal with WiFi cards and Linux is that the manufacturers don’t like making their specs public, so you have to reverse engineer the drivers. Which makes it tedious and frustrating for Linux devs.
