I'll just add my support for the sibling comments that Spaces is really awkward in comparison to workspaces/tags/whatever on all the Linux DEs I've used, including minimalist stuff like Openbox. In OS X, Spaces is just a tacked-on deal that doesn't work well with the rest of the experience, and most people don't know it exists until they accidentally trigger it with a corner or key combo. If you value multiple desktops, you'll be much better off using a Linux DE.
I run Arch Linux on my MacBook Pro, for instance. This has made at least two Mac fanboys seriously hate me.

I'd like to think that having Mac fanboys hate you is a peripheral perk that comes with running Linux on it.
To be fair, I dislike fanboys of all shapes, colours and flavours.
upvote for running linux :)
