Successful PearPC/Mac OS X Install Documented

rocketjam writes "OS News has an article by a user who successfully installed Mac OS X using the 0.1 version of PearPC, the PPC emulator for x86 machines. He said it took 5 hours to run the first install CD but he did get it up and running on an AMD Athlon XP 1600+ with 512MB of RAM. The article has several screenshots of the Mac OS X install and new user set up running on his machine." See our previous story.

    ...to get MacOSX on X86. My GOD!!! All those pesky slashdotters haunting the apple forum with their bemoaning the lack of MacOSX support for X86. They couldn't just go out and buy a Mac. They had to start open source project.

    There is a new addage to the old cliche.

    Where there stubbornness, there is a way.

    My hat's off to you gentlemen

    You don't have to be smart to use a Mac, you just have to be smart enough to buy one

    But STFU. This is a tech story and I couldn't care less if he broke into Apple and stole, then compiled the source code himself unless this story touched on that explicitly.

    If you were trying to be interesting and not irritating why don't you quote the license and link to it? I'd have given you +1 interesting for that but I don't need a conscience nanny.

    Visit the Mac forums you will see many scanners, all-in-one print/scan/fax devices, etc do not work well on Macs.

    Please read more carefully in the future: "Basically you can plug in just about any USB input device and it'll Just Work." A true statement.

    ...because you know MS would kill Office for Mac in a heartbeat.

    I know it's too much to ask you to fucking read, but one can dream, can't one?
