55 Operating Systems On A PowerBook

OttoMagick writes "I found an article called 'Many Systems on One Machine' over at Kernelthread.com that shows over 55 operating systems running on a 17inch Powerbook. The article includes screenshots and descriptions of each system, and also hacks and tips on getting the nasty ones installed. The author Amit Singh (the Hanoimania guy, covered earlier on Slashdot) explains his reasons for all this in a related FAAQ (frequently asked + anticipated questions) ... In all a very interesting read, specially the FAAQ, where he calls the setup "the iPod of operating systems". Now thats an Apple Power User! I wonder what Steve Jobs would say if he sees people doing such things to his machines!!"

You don't say! Wow, we never would have known that if it wasn't for you!

Thank, Captain Obvious. You truly are a humorless tool.

This article about Apple laptops has been posted for hours, and somehow the "Apple laptop keyboards unfit for UNIX users" douche has not posted his tired, whiny screed yet.

Mr. Whiny I-Can't-Adapt Complainer, are you already on holiday vacation?
