on Tue 7th Jun 2005 00:24 UTC  It won't effect Linux at all. OS
X has the same closed concept that MSFT does which is why people
that want to own and control their own computer rather than feel
like a renter use *nix now and not Mac or MSFT.  All this change
does is makes the CPU they use Intel. Nothing more. What they
should have done of course is still thrown the green light for
people to build their own clones and still sell their own
hardware that way the power users would be satisfied and would
develop use it as their platform for open source software but
Apple's too greedy to do that.  So it'll have absolutely zero
difference to Linux.
