Thank you for the explanation.  Now that I understand your situation, good luck with switching over to Linux from MacOSX.  You may find that your 'upgrade frenzy' will become more frequent, not less.  This does raise the TCO and makes maintenance of your system's harder.  However, the availability of help is greater with Linux than it is with a Mac (in most cases.)

I, for one, am glad that I moved from Linux/Intel to MacOSX/PPC then MacOSX/Intel.
