Hello all, I hope this is a friendly forum.
Anyhoo, I have a little project in the works, and there is a mac portion that I need a bit of advice on.
Basically, I am doing a super uber multiboot. As it goes, I plan on installing a major linux from each major branch, XP and vista, BSD, Opensolaris, Reactos, Amiga ~ and any other operating system that I can get my grubby (pun intended) fingers on. This also includes, hopefully, MAC.
So as it is my understanding, mac is very picky about its hardware, which makes me warey about how to go about this. Back when mac was still powerpc however, I remember that someone released an x86 version. My thinking was that because this was a third party developing this for regular pc's to install, it must be much more flexible than regular ol mac os. This is just a thought, and if there is a better solution in mind, then fill me in. Basically, I just want mac on my computer... speaking of which, here is what I own:
http://system76.com/product_info.php?cPath=28&products_id=51 It has full specs btw, so 4 gigs of ram, etc...
Notice it is a preinstalled linux computer... although i think it originally was a compaq.
anyhoo...
So yah, for my super multiboot, how am I going to get mac to run on it... All I care bout for now is that it runs... drivers are second priority. Any version is fine... if more than one exists, even better!
