14. 5 Things Linux Does Better Than Mac OS X
• 1. Security
• The Mac might enjoy a
smaller installed base
than Windows does,
meaning there's less of
the monoculture effect
and less of a lure for
malicious hackers
• 2. Customizability
• I can understand that
there are some users
who want to live in a
walled garden, and are
content to do things the
way Apple wants them
to. For the rest of us,
however, the
restrictions Apple
puts on the user are just
unacceptable.

• 3.Hardware
Try it on anything less, and
you'll pay the price.
• 4. Reliability
Systems crashes and
downtime are pretty much a
fact of life when you're a Mac
user, but Linux offers a
completely different
experience. Many Linux users,
in fact, have never
experienced unplanned
downtime.
• 5. Price
• It almost seems too easy to
point this out, but, well,
Linux is free. Macs? Not so
much--they're even higher-
priced than Windows
machines, in fact.
