[NEWS] Linux beats Windows to Intel iMac
- Thread starter MrGuvernment
- Start date
I'm pretty sure the Linux crowd is putting more effort into this, so for most of us, it was obvious. Furthermore, why would we want Windows to run on over-priced Mac hardware, when we have the Pentium Ms or Turion64 laptops that are cheaper?
Oh, wait, I see. It's just another attempt to put down M$ Microshaft Winblows, etc etc

OSX is BSD-based which isn't a million-miles away from Linux (I am sure a few BSD advocates here will argue )
The point being there is already a boot-loader there that will load a BSD/LINUX like kernel. THAT is 1/2 the battle!!!
Look at how the Xbox got hack, it wasn't until something could boot that the walls stsrted to fall. Since OSX has a linux-friendly bootloader present, it isn't such a big step
Now get the NT kernel to boot...

Probably have to load the NT kernal through emulation - perhaps like they hacked OS X x86 to run on PC's - load up debian and then more or less emulate the o/s.... ?
