I'm running osX on my laptop and desktop, debian servers for work and FreeBSD for my personal servers. I still prefer FreeBSD for performance and stability but like the total rich media integration of osX. I've put in enough keyboard shortcuts (go go gadget QuickSilver) that I rarely have to use the mouse. Plus apple makes some totally amazing laptops.

I tried Ubuntu on the Thinkpad, but had trouble with the wireless and didn't feel like spending a lot of time fiddling with it, so went back to Fedora (which worked the first time). Fedora 7 is supposed to have some great new features, including the best virtualization yet built into a Linux distro, so we'll see.

The standard ubuntu distro disk is also a live-cd so you can try it before you install it... good luck!
