Comments on: Blogging Software (Mostly) for the Mac http://www.gnorb.net/1227/blogging-software-mostly-for-the-mac Fiction has to be plausible. Reality is under no such constraint.

You may or may not know who they are. Frankly, I’d never heard of them before the announcement, but learned quickly that another member of their network is Performancing, the authors of the very awesome Scribefire plugin for Firefox.

I highly recommend it if you do a lot of typing: they keyboard is wonderful. As far as software is concerned, it's nice to have your system get out of your way, and the Mac does that better than any system I've ever tried. Ubuntu gets close, though and I might instal it on this system to see how it goes: the fact is that, philosophically, I'm still attached to the Free Software and Open Source movements, although I'm far more interested in simply working than spending time evangelizing for it, and on that front the Mac just can't be beat. (I will tell you, I miss working on the command line: I still haven't gotten used to the Darwin file structure.) I will tell you, after a short while, you start seeing some of the flaws, and as great as Mac OS X is, you realize there's no such thing as a perfect system. Hey Jens,

How is it going, are you still happy with you macbook? I am considering the purchase of a macbook too. Since 2003 i used Llinux for all my home-purposes, i tried different distributions, started with Slackware, switched to gentoo, ended up in Kubuntu since i like the advantages of Ubuntu/Debian and the KDE environment. Have you ever regret buying the macbook, did you switch back to ubuntu for some reasons? Would be nice to get your opinion on that .-) BR - Jens Hey there, i read about your switch from Linux to mac os x.

Have you ever regret buying the macbook, did you switch back to ubuntu for some reasons?
