Multi-booting Mac Intel Developer Machines
ytsejam-ppc writes "Ross Carlson over at Jasbone.com has a great article up on how to install multiple operating systems on the new Intel based developer edition Macs. His particular setup triple-booted Mac OS X 10.4.1 (Intel), CentOS 4 and Windows XP. Just makes me drool."
For our next /. story we'll be demonstrating how to install debian on a PC running in a country where the only available electrical power is at 230V.
Doesn't it make you feel good to know that our freedoms are protected by politicans, lawyers and journalists.
OS X is closed source. This means that it is the work of the devil - its purpose is to make the end users eat babies.
Linux is the only free OS. Yes the BSD lincenses may appear more free, but as they have no restrictions, they are actually less free than the GPL. You see, restricting the end user more actually makes them more free than not putting restrictions on them. You must be a dumb luser for not understanding this.
And you obviously dont have a real job. A real job involves being a student or professional academic. You see, academics are the ones who know all about productivity - if you work for a commercial organisation you obviously do not know anything about computers. Usability is stupid. Whats wrong with the command line? If you cant use the command line then you shouldnt be using a computer. vi should be the standard word processor - you are such a luser if you want to use Word. Installing software should have to involve recompiling the kernel of the OS. If you dont know how to do this, you are a stupid luser who should RTFM. Or go to a Linux irc channel or newsgroup. After all, they are soooo friendly. If you dont know how the latest 2.6 kernel scheduling algorithm works then they will tell you to stop wasting their time, but they really are quite supportive.
Oh, and M$ is just as evil as Apple. Take LookOUT for instance. You could just as easily use Eudora. Who needs groupware anyway, a simple email client should be all we use (thats all we use as academics, why cant businesses be any different).
And trend setters - Linux is the trend setter. It may appear KDE is a ripoff from XP, but thats because M$ stole the KDE code. We all know they have GPL'ed code hidden in there somewhere (but not the things that dont work, only the things that work could possibly have GPL'ed code in it).
And Apple is the suxor because they charge people for their product. We all know that its a much better business model to give all your products away for free. If you charge for anything, then you are allied with M$ and will burn in hell.
It makes you drool..
LOL, I cant wait for the first round of (serious) posts that think Macs are better than PCs because they run Windows XP.
Zealots are too much.
I don't need no instructions to know how to rock!!!!
What exatly does this have to do with a Mac?
Uhm... he doesn't use MS-Windows. I won't tell you the *name* of the OS he uses, but it's the one put out by Apple.
Both remaining BeOS users report positive results installing BeOS on these machines.
And how many of us have these developer machines?
I do! In fact, I've had it for close to a month now, and it looks great sitting there on the floor behind my chair. I'm really hoping that after ADHOC I'll have a chance to like, uh, plug it in and uh, see if it boots, or something...
I'm not even kidding.
I don't really see how those are related, but for what it's worth, I'm vegetarian, and I still think GIMP is Photoshop's bitch.
Curiosity was framed. Ignorance killed the cat.
"Apple offers the state of the art operating system, Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard with all Intel Mac models. Your Mac is also capable booting into other operating system offer by third party. Options include Linux operating system, a brother of OS X which truely favour by your Geek brother. If desired, choose a crappy Microsoft Windows VISTA Operating System. (Which Stand for Virus, Infection, Spam, Trojan and Adware)"
;-)
Okay that just for fun.
Boxen... moosen... i before e except after C except in may your wrong no matter what you say.
Sounds like it should be part of the USA gymnastics teams routine for the next Olympics- The triple-booting, back handstand, side twisting, OS excercise.
I before E except after C
and when sounding like A as in neighbor and weigh
and weekends and holidays and all throughout May
and you'll always be wrong no matter WHAT you say
