OS Emulation Extravaganza, OS X On Down

You guys arent going to believe what I was able to do in one bored day at work. http://www.mystaticip.com/homebrew shows my effort. I took OS X 10.1, installed fink with rootless Xfree86 with IceWM running BasiliskII [running MacOS 7.6]. OS X is also running ircle and VPC test drive running Windows XP. Simply amazing. The speed on this iBook 466SE of all the apps left much to be desired. This was a feasibility test. The speed of either one of the emulators running by themselves was decent if you turned off all the eye candy in Windows XP. I'm REALLY interested in getting BasiliskII up and running to be able to play all those games that OS 8 broke...stuff like Ancient Art of War and Vette. Check it out and have fun duplicating the effort HomeBrewR" The question I'm sure you're asking now is Why stop there?

Was this the best use of time ?

As a mac user, the effort would have been better spent porting some open source apps to the MacOS. Then carbonizing them. Emulation is cool, but for all practical purposes, you are better off going native.

Remember, we owe a duty of commitment to the open source community, and there's no reason for Mac users to be left out!
