   Yes.  Linux is much more flexible, and runs on (just about) any computer   
   architecture.  OSX is limited to Macs.   
      
   OSX is very good, but not for the hardcore programmer.  Great for userland,   
   though.   
      
   Linux is the ultimate in flexibility, but requires a bit more intervention   
   by the user (at the setting-up stage).
