What's that new Linux called? It's daaaamn good...and uses Parallels too.

This I will agree on. If only they'd port games to both the Mac and Linux.

The rumor is now that the "mac problem" has been solved, Valve is working on full linux support as well.

It is not that lean. I have a 4gb mbp at work and it swaps like crazy when running a 2gb parallels vm. Yet I can run a 4gb winbox with 2gb virtualbox linux in it and it is still smooth. And this is with a gazillion firefox windows open and crap office too. Safari got bloated to the point that the default "favorite websites" window sends it to a crawl when it first starts up. I got so sick of Mail.app that I went back to Mutt. Yes, the text-based mailreader from unix. Not to mention Flash still remains the crashiest piece of shit on Mac - although I suppose apple now assumes you will only use your iphone/ipad/whatever to watch videos instead of the mac...
