6 Everytime someone says why don't you run OS X on Mac, it truely pisses me
7 right off. OS X is not true a Unix, its a Unix interface overtop a crappy
8 kernel that was never supposed to leave academia.

10 Servers require the upmost in scalability, performance, and stability and
11 these are things OS X truely lacks. You might as well say "Why don't you run
12 Windows 2000 Advanced Server?" on your Athlon machine.

14 Sure, OS X is great. Its great for Photoshop, bouncing icons, and its great
15 that its making a Unix type OS more popular. KDE is just as pretty, 10x
16 faster and 10x times more configurable.
