Hi gammal, welcome to Mac
This sounds like you are an open source geek

, im a software developer too, im used to Ubuntu and work on Mac OS X all the time, if you are a Java programmer or any other open source language, then Mac is heaven for you.
Im not sure if your HP can run any image, even though you will have many problems that wastes ur time.
anyways,
take a look at this, those are the top 15 who changed the internet (and our lives for ever), count how many has a Mac
Building on what Magnus said, OS X is built on Unix so you will not notice a large difference in the core.
