I have to wonder about the Linux requirement though? What do you do on Linux that can't be done with OS X underlying BSD? If you are a linux developer then I can see it but if you are doing almost any other development or design, there is little to recommend Linux over BSD and many reasons why OS X is superior as a desktop OS.

> I have to wonder about the Linux requirement though? Matter of personal preference really. My "Desktop" machine is Windows 7 which happens to work better for my needs than OS X - Blu-Ray, AnyDVD, Hulu/Netflix without fan noise etc. That's where I do all my media/email/browsing/chat etc. Linux is primarily a development machine - I find it better for OSS development than OS X. (Plus in my case I hack on the kernel some times so that's another compelling reason.)
