Slashdot Mirror
Gentoo Offers PPC LiveCDs
drunkentiger writes "Ripped right off their homepage: In a recent Slashdot article, someone asked if it were possible to create a fully-featured bootable Linux LiveCD for the Macintosh.
We thought this was a great idea. So today, we are releasing two full-featured LiveCDs for the PowerPC: one with KDE 3, and another with GNOME 2. Take a look at the KDE LiveCD running MacOS X in a window via Mac on Linux. LiveCDs can be downloaded here or from these mirrors."
j00 make baby jebus cry!
Proof that nobody reads the comments.
Hey fuckstick, it's pro-choice
buy a lindows pc from wal-mart
linux doesn't diserve good hardware because 99% of it's capability is unusable under lunix.
SO my opinion: Go find an old 486. Spending money on linux machines is stupid.
Oh, and BTW, if someone in here buys a $1500 mac and puts linux on it, I'm gonna find you and beat you to death with a clue stick.
kthxdie
LiveCDs are cool. I'm use Knoppix all teh time. (Lunix bliss in computer lab, finelly)... [*geekish giggle* *snort*]
No, you fucking geek. They are not cool. Pussy is cool. Why don't go out and get some fine pussy. Oh, whoops you are a geek. That doesn't happen. My bad.
right here
trolls are so lame these days, atleast use google to disguise your goatse link! http://www.google.com/url?q=HTTP://GOATSE.CX
my beige G3 desktop is JUUUST too old to run this. Fsck you, apple, and your oldworld/newworld bullshit. If only i could figure out how to get my debianPPC install to boot on it...
I got a +5, Troll
Live? With Gentoo?? Serius?
They're supposed to compile everything. Can't be much live next few hours then!

I've been sitting here at my freelance gig in front of a Mac (a 8600/300 w/64 Megs of RAM) for about 20 minutes now while it attempts to copy a 17 Meg file from one folder on the hard drive to another folder. 20 minutes. At home, on my Pentium Pro 200 running NT 4, which by all standards should be a lot slower than this Mac, the same operation would take about 2 minutes. If that.
In addition, during this file transfer, Netscape will not work. And everything else has ground to a halt. Even BBEdit Lite is straining to keep up as I type this.
I won't bore you with the laundry list of other problems that I've encountered while working on various Macs, but suffice it to say there have been many, not the least of which is I've never seen a Mac that has run faster than its Wintel counterpart, despite the Macs' faster chip architecture. My 486/66 with 8 megs of ram runs faster than this 300 mhz machine at times. From a productivity standpoint, I don't get how people can claim that the Macintosh is a superior machine.
I'd rather hear some intelligent reasons why anyone would choose to use a Mac over other faster, cheaper, more stable systems.
I'd like to see a pussyassed mac lover try to give ME a wedgie!
I'd beat the shit out of him if he was stupid enough and probably delete his photoshop icon off his desktop.
Dear Apple:
I bought an Apple computer because of its native support for teledildonics. I bought a USB FUFME and MacOS immediately recognized it and installed drivers instantly! As a gay Catholic priest who often can't be at the altar all the time, you can understand how the ability to have sex with children whilst on the airplane with my Powerbook and wireless internet service is a lifesaver.
I just have a single question, will Apple be releasing a firewire version of the FUFME anytime soon?
With much gayness,
Father "Michael" Harris
Dear Father Harris:
Thank you for your kind letter! Being a former Catholic priest myself, I know exactly what you are talking about! It has been our dream at Apple
Computers ever since we began in the 80's to shape the homosexual experience with the ultimate computer.
I can answer your letter by saying that YES we will indeed be making a firewire version of the FUFME. With the additional bandwidth offered by the firewire bus, we will be able to more accurately record and deliver more minute and subtle movements that the USB FUFME simply couldnt support due to lack of bandwidth. You will be able to recognize our firewire FUFME in stores by the fancy holographic logo of a cock entering an Apple.
We are glad to help loyal customers such as yourself. If you ever have any more questions, feel free to drop a line (or connect to my teledildonic FUFME server on fufme://cockman.apple.com).

but spending all your time learning how an OS works is a fairly useless endevor for anyone but admins
Uhhh... if you're not an admin or a coder, what the fuck (may I ask) are you doing reading Slashdot? This isn't fucking TechTV for the armchair techy. This is Slashdot, for the hardcore true geek. Of course I think Linux sucks and Slashdot would do better to focus on a real BSD Unix like HP UX. But that's just me.
Please remember the only ON-TOPIC posting that can possibly be in this thread: That there is no way in fucking HELL that a Macintosh lemming is going to be smart enough to stick a CD into his ass, err..., slot and boot up into Linux.
Gentoo is the best there is, that's true (and it is, you fucking Debian faggots), but it still requires SOME kind of knowledge about computers beyond iTunes and iMasturbate and... (pregnant pause) aren't iTunes and iBeatMyMeat what we all got into computers in the first place for?
