I wouldn't say I'm "using" it per se -- I've got it installed, I 
played with it a little bit, but right now my primary Linux is RedHat 
on the IBM. If this reporter has serious questions, don't send him to 
me. If he wants to install it himself, tell him it's a piece of cake, 
much easier than on Intel box because things are more standardized. 
My only gripe with it is Apple's one-button mouse standard, which 
makes it very hard for me to use my old LogiTech 3-button. The 
LogiTech will confound MkLinux so much, I have to swap it out for an 
Apple mouse. Now I guess Apple has adopted the industry standard for 
USB mouses, which are multibutton, but the twits are still shipping 
single-button. Makes you want to go to Cupertino and string somebody 
up by the thumbs.
