The Linux underneath OS X leaves security holes which are just beginning to be exploited by the s.o.b.'s who take delight in torturing work-a-day computer users. Many patches and programs are promised to fix this, but for now keep upgrading Norton via download and keep an eye on your machine for "demons" like the mouse seems to be under someone else's control, sluggish response and the like. Linux makes the MAC more acceptable to geekoids like the folks I work with and therefore more of a target for blackhats.

LOVE MACS btw (use Winduhs machines all the time for work - why God, oh why?!!!)

Correction: that's UNIX underneath OS X. I'm dealing with Linux at present and have achieved cerebral saturation.
