Larry, there are a lot of people who want unix on the mac, who don't need unix networking faciliites (ie they are not going to run a web server from it, or use it to browse the internet) the mac stuff is all i use for example. these people would be more interested in a unix pointed at using and developing unix apps. for example students are a good example they have to work with unix and gcc env at school and want something for their home machine. best jim
