[geeks] Can't decide on an OS

[Jonathan Katz]

Run an older OSX. Or, disable stupid things like system-wide search,
dashboard, and command center. Or switch to an ssd. Or add ram.

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.
