A Quick Look At Mac-On-Linux

Posted by timothy on from the cute-logos-cool-program dept.

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?

    It runs natively. No emulation and apparently just as fast as running MacOS 9 or classic in MacOS X.

    According to this website the White House sits at the bottom an inverted pentagram:the map.

    And the capitol is the center of a free mason compass.

    It's an illuminati conspiracy, of this I know.
