Apple MacBook Pro speaks Ubuntu Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| I have to say that this was about as painless as OS installations ever get.
| Now when I want to run Ubuntu (which is most of the time) I can either grab
| my Wind netbook or my MacBook Pro. Either way, the choice of OS is entirely
| mine. Whatever floats my boat at any particular time. I have Windows XP Home
| or Ubuntu on the Wind netbook and Mac OS Leopard or Ubuntu on the MacBook.
| I've never enjoyed so much OS freedom. Life certainly is sweet.

Linux Just As Gooey As Windows And Mac
,----[ Quote ]
| While pure open source enthusiasts may boo the fact that World of Goo is not
| open source, I for one am very excited. I think that this is a great example
| of what Linux needs. The more software that we see becoming available for
| Linux, the more credibility Linux will have among the skeptical. Increased
| credibility will lead to more adoption, which is what Linux really needs
| right now.

Linux on the Mac
,----[ Quote ]
| Before you install Ubuntu, make sure your hardware is ready. I think that 2GB
| of RAM is a minimum; you're also going to want at least 8GB of free space on
| your hard drive. Â

Torvalds takes bite of Mac mini
,----[ Quote ]
| The Linux creator has been running an Apple G5 since at least March
| 2005, switching from a normal x86-based desktop sometime before that.
| At that stage he attributed the switch to the importance of IBM's
| Power architecture as well as a desire to try a new system.

PClinuxOS .93a BigDaddy Parallels Image
,----[ Quote ]
| This image is tuned and patched for the Macbook (although these images
| are being used on other Intel Macs). You must have Parallels to use this
| image! As always with my images - 1280x800, tuned and updated. Just
| download the folder (then I would burn to a DVD) - unzip and run.
| Nothing to configure. If it gets "messed up" - just trash it and unzip
| off the DVD again. Fresh and new.
