[geeks] Can't decide on an OS

Hello,

I've gotten too angry at OS X being too slow and bloated to the point I 
needed to pick another one.  Windows is...windows I don't really think I 
need to explain that.  Linux makes me tremendously angry due to how easily 
I can break it along with all the politics involved (really, the distro I 
can stand isn't installing for me).  The BSDs have 
lacklustre X support (especially on a macbook pro).  CP/M isn't going to 
run quite right and I don't think FreeDOS would support my hardware quite 
right.  Haiku isn't going to have the kind of hardware support either.

If I can swap out the MBP's wifi chip for an ath5k (ath9k eventually, but 
I have an ath5k on hand I might be happier.)

Are there any sane OSes i'm forgetting?
