Maybe if you have to install a lot of OSX clients, but even then: 
Saying that a modern linux distro is easier to install and configure 
than OSX is just ridiculous. Don't you know that maybe more than 95% 
of computer users don't know how to use a shell (and of course not 
how to compile and install a alternative kernel)? I know how to do it 
now (I also use VDR on a linux box), but I prefer to double-click on 
a system or driver installer icon (you can call me lazy - I call it 
efficient!)...

But I really don't want to start a 
"which-os-is-better-and-why-discussion". Linux is cool, but still 
only for people who are technically experienced or willing to spend a 
lot of time for learning. Computers should be intuitive to use and a 
tool, not a time consumer. But this is a question of ideology...
