Hi Steve,
Truely, the free software on proprietary OS situation is a dilema.

in previous years a lot of the development
effort
was specifically targeted at the linux kernel, but I feel that this is
becoming less true with time. In particular a small but significant
ammount of linux audio software now runs on OS X.
Sure, and I think it strengthens the case for using those applications
that they aren't tied to a single platform. However from a
linuxaudio.org point of view, I have reservations about promoting free
software on OS X, as it is a semi-proprietary platform under the control
of a single company - something I hoped UNIX could get away from :-)
