The biggest advantage Linux has is it's available for free.  You may 
spend $50 on a second hard drive, but you can try it and see if you like 
it without commiting to it.  iMac doesn't have that advantage.

It's still hard to beat putting a disk in the drive and turning the 
machine on for ease of use.  (Obligitory Apple II reference.)
