I've tried many Linux flavours and am now very comfortable with Ubuntu. Despite having to ditch my SiI RAID controller, everything was reasonably straightforward to configure - although quite a lot of time for tweakery e.g. switching off the onboard sound in the bios to make my soundblaster work for Skype.

I'm also tempted by OSX and have looked at the Minimac with more than a little interest. In reality though, I have a reasonably quick, stable computing environment and I don't suffer from spyware/adware hell so I have no real reason to change.

I must say, it's also I nice feeling that I use free, open source applications exclusively, and there's no temptation to waste money on apps/games I don't need.
