Hi, this is a quit general question but I am interested in your knowledge: - Can you recommend installing Linux (e.g. SuSE) on a Mac? - Isn't OS X better? - Do you run OS X (or similar) parallel to Linux? Or do you run Linux under OS X (similar to vmware there are some "emulators" I think?)
Thank you for your answers, yours Tobias
Hi, this is a more general answer: I started following this mailing list more or less interested, since it was recommended in a Mac-magazine. I never found a link to place certain questions, most topics seem to be too specialiced. Me, I`d managed to install Mac OSX and Suse PPc on the same HD of my imac. It happend, because I was searching for a "multitasking-desktop-system" with a printing and a secound rewritable disk possibility (Imation SuperDisk). (Meanwhile I realized, that printing works under MacOSX with the classical enviroment, if the program, or it`s symbol or whatever is "Classical-only") Suse PPC is interesting, there is a lot of documentation, but I never managed to set up a possibility to start it from HD (It just worked with the SusePPC CD1 as startup disk) Meanwhile I can`t start it again, my Theory is, that I tried to unpack to much to big programs with to low space on the linux-partition. My HD is "just" 7GB big, and regarding my origin interest, I should tell, that SusE PPC is obsolete, but on the other hand: - I just bought the "Das Telefonbuch, map&route- CD" from the Deutsche Telekom - It doesnt work in an Mac-Enviroment - There were files called "Linux..."-somehow on the CD but: - repeating the complete setup with the one extra GB on the linux-partition for the Telefonbuch-installation (still just old-boot-CD startable?) - LinuxPPC and common Linux seems to differ more one could wish, who is more interested in the products, then in the patching-knowledge. I´m fine with MacOSX, I´ll give away the CD for nothing to my neighbor, why did I buy it at all. SusePPC ... Phh greatings Peter
