AA,

I'm seriously considering switching to Apple. I'm mostly interested in the OS though. However, it doesn't make any sense to me to switch before trying Mac OS X extensively for a week or two. I'm a software developer and I'm currently using Linux as my main & only OS, where almost everything I need is available free of charge. I want to make sure that this kind of freedom (or close to it) is possible for an Apple user, so I'm interested in getting one of those patched OSX86 images & trying it out on my laptop for a while before I make a decision. I have an HP dv2000 machine, and I tried one of the images but it was terribly unstable. Do you have any idea which image I could use?
