[Gllug] OT: Mac OS X for a linux user

I am vaguely considering moving off my current two-home machine setup (1
Linux for everyday; 1 Windows for Microsoft Office/Money) to a single
iMac 24" - basically to save space.  I'd migrate all my email to my
linux hosted server.

Has anyone used OS X in anger?  Is it sufficiently linux-like that I'd
be at home with it?  Does running CrossoverMac work well?  Can you run
the normal X or Gnome programs that I'm familiar with on the desktop
without fiddling too much?

As a veteran CLI user, it's a slightly scary prospect moving to Mac but
it might be worth it for the gorgeous screen and the lack of boxes under
the table...
