I was waiting for someone to say thos exact words :-) Basically, It's 
the only major OS I haven't been exposed to.

The problem is the price to performance ratio. I can't really justify it 
anymore. A J6700 goes for $1200, and so does a 3.6 GHZ Xeon xw6200. I 
used to say to myself, well, its slower, but when I get all my 
applications and services running at once, the UNIX machine will pull 
ahead, but I don't really think that's true anymore.

Yeah, oh well, about to give up and get a PC and Linux. At least I can 
put a Nvidia FX3400 in the xw6200. Those things fly.
