Which is better? OSX or Ubuntu?

[Richard Colbert Jr]

Well contrary to the specs for the "Tangerine" iMac G3 say, it does in fact
support 256MB PC100 DIMMS. I now have 320MB Ram on this machine and OS9.0.3
is HAULING ASS. It still crashes, but it is fast.

 

I put the thing back together with the 10GB HDD and OS9.0.3 installed. I am
wondering if I should wait till I can get my hands on OSX or should I just
install Breezy on it and be done? Any suggestions?

 

My intended use for this machine is: I play lots of games online, check
email, visit numerous news sites, visit a lot of Flash/Shockwave/Quicktime
sites. I get 1,000+ emails a day. I design websites and do light graphics in
Photoshop (usually), etc. I also download/rip and burn lots of CD's and
DVD's. Occasionally edit Digital Video fed through USB or Firewire from a
CamCorder.

Okay before you guys/gals answer that, I have a set of guidelines that I
would like used in answering that question. 

 

**Note: I am very new to Ubuntu and have never used OSX, hence the reason I
am asking**

 

Guidelines:

 

1.)     Ease of install - including installation, setup and configuring all
connected devices

2.)     Overall ease of use - User-Friendly

3.)     Ease of installing additional hardware (Post OS Install)

4.)     Ease of uninstalling no longer used hardware (Without OS Re-Install)

5.)     Ease of installing new software/games/etc.

6.)     Ease of uninstalling no longer used software/games/etc.

7.)     Overall security and resistance to Viruses, Trojans, etc.

8.)     Ease of removal of Viruses, Trojans, etc.

9.)     Availability of GOOD software/games/etc.

 

I am asking this question SPECIFIC to use on an older G3 iMac (Tangerine)
with a 400Mhz. PowerPC Processor, 128MB Ram (May upgrade this to 256 if
needed), 10GB Hard drive (May upgrade this to 40GB if needed), Internal DVD
Reader, external BenQ Dual Layer DVD+-R/W w/ Lightscribe, Micro Connectors
iMac keyboard w/ 2port USB hub built in, Kensington Orbit USB Trackball
Mouse, USB External 120GB HDD formatted FAT32 (Used for backing up files
from both the iMac and Windows PC's.
