I guess to answer that question, you have to ask whether or not you want to part ways with MAC's gui or not. Bottom line is this (and I wish Windows would do the same)... If you want the ease of use in a GUI form AND the stability/security (like that of the debian package), then OS-X is definately the way to go.

I haven't played with OS-X very much because I've not had much time for it, but they definately have my respect for their improvements in regards to stepping up to the plate and using the open source community for their user's advantage.

I wouldn't claim one to be "better" than the other. The determining factor, however is one of preference... And I do have to admit that Mac's GUI is pretty good... It's a LOT of package, but it's good nonetheless.

Need a GUI, and are you familiar with the Mac systems? Get OS-X. Don't want a GUI, or want to experiment more with other stuff? Get *BSD* or Linux.

I'm a BSD lover, but I have a lot of respect for a company that moves into the Open Source environment.

Hope that helps
