that question has been asked around the net...just a few times ;-)



-some linux enthusiasts/admins/developers just _like_ the apple hardware

-some linux enthusiasts/admins/developers have to use a mac (it's what's 
on the desk)

-linux can be made faster. e.g. my ibook is running debian with most 
daemons disabled, it boots only to a console and when i want a gui, i 
exec fluxbox...os-x can't touch the speed.

-some ppl are linux-on-ppc developers (for the embedded sector) and find 
linux on a mac useful.

-some ppl are switchers.  they discovered linux and "mac os" has lost 
it's luster.

-some people want to because they are rebels.

-perhaps a smart mac admin sees job/personal-growth opportunity if 
he/she expands their horizons beyond the very pretty gui of "os x".

i could type more, but it would bore everyone.
