      @pony Because it's a fun project with the reward of being able to tri-boot all three major OS families, and not miss anything~.

        @cavatina it does actually sound fun though xP I think something must be wrong with me.

            @omni You had me wondering there for a second.. is there any reason you'd want to dual boot linux?

              @pony Probably Arch and Ubuntu so that, in case I screw up Arch so badly again everything is completely broken, I at least have a working system as well :P

          @omni Is that the accepted plural for Linux?

            @yodelerty I honestly don't know, but I read it somewhere on a Wikibooks page regarding LaTeX. Should check on that later, though.

              @omni I assumed it would just be "Linux distros".

                @yodelerty A Linux isn't the same as a Linux distribution, though. Also, if you say "Linux distros" it sounds like you mean "Ubuntu and Mint", for example, instead of "Two PCs running a Linux-based system".

      @pony Because OS X has a lot of cool exclusive programs.

        @yodelerty @cavatina but, functionally, a PC can do everything that a Mac can can't it?

          @pony Functionally, yes. But OS X has applications like Garage Band and whatnot.
