Not necessarily. Installing Ubuntu on a custom built PC is far easier than Mac OS X.

That's like saying it is far easier to wash dishes in a dish washer than a washing machine.
Mac OS X is only meant to be installed on a Mac, unlike Ubuntu, which can be installed on basically any computer which meets it's minimum hardware requirements.

That's why I said apple is not necessarily better than Linux. What is it that you didn't understand?

What I don't understand is why would you want to bring up the topic of installation on custom machines when that is something Mac OS X is just not made for. If it were a discussion of Linux and Windows Vista, then it would've made sense. In case of Mac and Linux the installation factor just cannot be brought in to the discussion.

To show that Apple is not always better than Linux. Ability to run on custom built systems is indeed a positive trait of a platform.

I think Psychosocial was just kidding when he said that Apple is better than Linux.

Ya.. many people dont get sarcasm easily. No way Mac OSX can be better than Linux.

I second that.chandru.in said:
But why do we need such discussions? Mac>Linux, Linux>Mac, Lin>Win ..
There are specific scenarios where one subdues the other. If Macs are useless; why does it have substantially more market share than all-linux-distros-combined?
Now THAT may not be binding as well.Psychosocial said:

Hi,
I simply just didn't understand why there are such comparisons. All three are totally different from each other in every respect. When apple was designed for Graphics, movies editing(remember TITANIC was develpod on Linux Plateform), Windows or PC was developed for mass, and Linux was designd just as a cult product by programmers from all over the world>Apple have their own tightly integrated system, you cannot make a device driver or softwares just out of thought. Windows or PC have a very strong vender base, huge array of softwares, and Linux is you just think abt feature and they have it.When we talk about ipod, dont we think its just a followership, (Hey, he have one, I will have my own too.),,please Use products from Creative. They are far better then Ipod, whether quality, features, etc.imp. price. So please, dont start any thread just becoz of personal exp and give your verdict.

yup ipod cant be called an invention. There were many music players available before ipod was rolled out.
apple a winner ?? not really.
ok why do we need a phone which has touchscreen with features like zoom, rearranging icons, tilt detection etc and compromises on features like bluetooth file transfer, video recording etc. for a feature wise comparison check this out....
*vandit007.blogspot.com/2008/12/benchmarking-approaches-insanity.html
ok apple guys may argue that bt-file transfer was left out to decrease piracy of sound files but shouldnt they have adopted the symbian approach to not allow protected files to be sent over bluetooth.
Moreover there are restricitions on the mobile operator you can choose(without breaching the warranty that is....)
and who wants an OS on which I cant play call of duty world at war ???

Why linux isint so popular is because majority of computer owners are people who are not geeks/exposed to things like that.
they see a Mac, they see people with Macs, and they think, "that machine is sexy! that interface is slick! i want one!"
that doesnt mean Macs are just for show. its just that people go for whatever works for them.
if macs are too expensive, then the obvious choice is Windows.
Lets be realistic here, how many people who are not that into computers would try Linux? and how many of them would try OS X?

Apple has a confined and closed ecosystem of software and product development like the mac software and hardware are closely integrated and it will not work with any other hardware and so on.
This really generates a lot of curosity amongst people about the product and hence people but it.
