The
OSes just keep on coming! The latest non-Apple OS to boot on an Intel Mac, thanks to Boot Camp, is Solaris. That's
right, a Sun engineer managed to get a build
of Solaris up and running on his Intel iMac. It isn't fully functional yet, but I have no doubt that it will be
soon.Filed under: Analysis / Opinion, OS
Now that
it's easier than ever, will you dual-boot your
Mac? By the time Leopard is available, this will be a piece of cake (can you imagine hopping from OS to OS as easily as
Fast User Switching? A guy can dream). I know that it all depends on things like compatibility, ease etc. But all
things being equal: What's your decision? Cast your vote in our poll below and check back tomorrow for the results.Filed under: OS
Well, that didn't
take long. It seems that Windows' crash-tastic tendencies aren't limited to PCs. Check out this post by Deal Catcher forum user dbaxter. He writes
that after installing Boot Camp, things were going swimmingly...for thirty minutes. While browsing USB devices, Windows
did what Windows does best. Nothing.Filed under: Hardware, Open Source, Apple
The
Mactel-Linux project experienced some success this week
when they got a copy of Gentoo Linux to boot on an Intel-based iMac. We know, Linux on Apple hardware isn't news (Yellow Dog or Ubuntu, anyone?), but
it's still nice to reward the efforts of the seemingly tireless Linux community. They've got a long way to go, of
course. Baby steps.Filed under: Gaming, Software, Universal Binary
Pangea Software
made a universaly binary version of Nanosaur II available as a public beta back in
October, and this week the official, non-beta version 2.0 has
been released. This version requires at least Mac OS 10.4, but will run on both PowerPC Macs and MacIntels (though
Pangea urges those with PowerPC Macs to stick with version 1.1). Filed under: Analysis / Opinion, Hardware, OS, Apple
Ivan at
creativebits has composed a list of application types that just won't work with Rosetta. From his list:Filed under: Software
Hot on the heels of yesterday's announcements, The Omnigroup has released free universal binary updates for registered users of the majority of their applications, including OmniGraffle, OmniOutliner, OmniDiskSweeper, OmniObjectMeter and OmniDictionary. These will all run natively on the new Intel-based iMac and the MacBook Pro. Grab your copies now for that sweet new MacBook Pro you just ordered.Filed under: Macworld, Hardware
Apple has
created a website to answer all your questions about the new Intel Core Duo
chips that now power some of our beloved Macs. Thrill to the performance charts that show Intel chips kicking G4 and G5
butt. No one toasted Intel bunny in sight.Filed under: Rumors, Odds and ends, Apple
The
Inquirer is reporting that Intel will drop the 'Intel inside'
slogan and logo this January and introduce a new marketing approach. Hmm, something else happens this January, but I
can't quite put on my finger on it.Filed under: Analysis / Opinion, Hardware, Software, Hacks, How-tos, Cult of Mac
Last week I was listening to This Week in Tech, with the golden voice of Leo Laporte. Apparently Leo had refused a copy of os x86 that had been offered to him by some punk kids. Me? I love punk kids. They pay my bills (because I'm paid to teach them). So it was with great glee that one such punk kid let me know about a little experiment... He and some friends were going to put OS x86 on his Dell. He offered transportation to an undisclosed site where the grand plan would unfold, and I told him I'd check it out.Continue reading “My day in the Mactel underground installing OS x86”
