I knew of only one, which is what made the article rather odd. It doesn't
seem to introduce any novelty. Maybe the name "IBM" made it more reachable
to mainstream media.
Linux on OS X is not a simple project; not as easy as it may seem at first.
Even once you obtain the appropriate image, there are hardware-related
issues like the one-button mouse. This begs for some new peripheral$.
Best wishes,
Roy
