Yes anything in SuSE works fine on a "Mac" they are just an Intel PC with a pretty casing and oversized price tag. However, I will suggest that you buy a 3 button mouse it's really annoying to use the 1 button mouse the Macs come with. On Thu, May 15, 2008 at 8:12 PM, Doug McGarrett wrote:

A friend is using basically Mac to edit a newsletter. Q1. What open-source software can edit pdf files, and, Q2. can this be run on the Mac, somehow. (I know the Mac is running a version of Unix.) I also know that OO can output pdf code, and can be run on Mac, but a fairly long search of Google info does not indicate that OO can edit pdf input.

The pdf files are a combination of text and pictorial (music notation) and only the text needs to be edited. He has a solution, but it would be simpler if the whole thing could be edited in its pdf form.

How's that? The base OS on the Macintosh is a FreeBSD derivative, not Linux. It will never be possible to take openSUSE software and just run it on a Mac. With some work and access to the source code and necessary development resources, you can probably build many cross-platform software packages for MacOS, but you might want to see if someone else has already done so.

Macs have had two-button mice for a few years, now. Randall Schulz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
