A Quick Look At Mac-On-Linux

Travis Emslander writes: "They have an article about Mac on Linux over at MaximumLinux.org. I didn't even know this project existed but it looks like you can run any MacOS app (not including MacOS X apps of course) on a PPC machine with it. I'm starting to wish I had a mac to try this stuff." Here are some more screenshots. I saw MoL demonstrated over a year ago (when OS X wasn't really an issue) and was amazed at how quickly it ran. Anyone out there using it on a day-to-day basis?

Linux, Mac, Windows - it's all good now

Great, now I can run Linux, MacOS and Linux all at the same time. Is there anything greater?

I myself am looking forward to it

I am a McPaint erotic artist by night, and desktop publisher by day. I distribute my McPaint art via FidoNet, my screen is monochrome, and my mouse only has one button, so this maconlinux thing is really relevant to me.

I've always wanted to learn the linux, I hear it runs well on the ibm and compatible clones like the Compaq and the Kaypro. My friend has the Mosaic on his Mac, and he tells me about the linux and WWW all the time. He says the WWW (he's cool, so he calls it the W3), the Archie and the Gopher will be the future, someday we'll have modems that will go almost 4800 baud per second, and the HTML will be the computer language we convert our Pagemaker files to.

Please send me a fax when this is released, I have to go listen to some LP's on my new HiFi and vote for Mondale now.

Re:can it have a fancy name like wine?

Has nobody used the name "MINE"?

Seems obviously symetrical to WINE...
