Is there a logical reason why any sane person would choose to do this?  What I 
mean by that is fork out the fat wad of cash for Apple's hardware and then 
ditch its OS to run linux.  I mean, I like linux but it's not really worth 
buying hardware at double the price unless you're a serious gearhead - and we 
all know that serious gearheads are on the wrong side of the sanity line (and 
more power to them).  I guess what I'm asking is there any benefit, other 
than bragging rights and a warm feeling of satisfaction, from running linux 
on Apple hardware?
