Hi Frank, hi all,
Then you might also consider using Linux later, but take your time. OS-X, although based on an open source system, is not open source itself, as you know - you maybe already paid for some of those OS upgrades Apple sells. I really don't want to start a discussion on operating systems here, but if open-sourceness is important to you (it is to me) then OS-X is a dead end street operating-system-wise.
Re: Indeed, although linux is still rather scary for me. I have some basic knowledge and run a debian server with TWIGGI ( http://www.twiggi.org/ ), but have long been used to the mac os (11 years now). I have tried yellow dog linux on a imac, but it was really slow. What distro of linux would you recommend for audio?
All good wishes,
