Linux on a Mac?
Can it be done? Linux on a Mac? If so, is it just like installing Linux on a PC?

MAC OS X is built off a linux kernel, I don't know if there is a pure Linux version written for MAC, due the the different processor architecture.. try linux.org and see if there is even a set of MAC based binaries... There are PC emulators that will run under MAC OS. Lindows is a self contained Linux version, if you want to run Linodws you will have to find a Lindows version for MAC which again I'm not sure about. A quick look at Linspire's page ( new name) it runs on PC hardware, not Mac..

www.linuxiso.com has some mac versions
Well about lindows dont get it the program was canceled and they never really got anywhere. My favorite distro is SuSE but if i try to run games on it using winex it gets really slow.
Also linux wont use directx so that rules out almost all fps, sure u can play like starcraft and such but its no worth it.
Thats why i made my redhat box my family server![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

Be sure to check www.yellowdoglinux.com. I believe they even offer downloads of linux compiled for the powerpc platform.
