From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Also, you gotta be careful with macproducts some places.
Especially if they have export controls (Doubt turkey does, being nato,).
They might have import tariffs though - like Brazil and Argentina.
Even just paying the extra VAT on imports is painful in Sweden (25%).
well, if it's your personal mac and you'll be taking it with you, it's difficult to see import taxes being a necessary thing.
It's more the... if a group of people can't get "good" hardware because of export controls ... legally... some might take a shine to yours.
