Linux beats Windows to Intel iMac

They used the elilo bootloader, a modified kernel, and a hacked vesafb to boot from a USB drive. No GUI pictures for now, just white text on a black background. The distro of choice was Gentoo, and instructions and patches are promised this weekend."

  1. Prostitute Schedule for Feb. 16 at the MBOT in SF by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic
    Folks, check out the updated prostitute schedule for February 16 at the Mitchell Brother's O'Farrell Theater (MBOT), located at 895 O'Farrell Street, San Francisco, California. The MBOT is the most convenient way for you to buy a blow job, a hand job, and full service (i.e. vaginal sexual intercourse).

    I kid you not.
