Actually X is on the CD its simple to configure it but it would have been nice to have it setup right off the bat. I know my way around Linux so it was no problem for me to get the X server and the network up. My Yellow Dog box is lowly 7100/80 I doubt the bogomips are any where near the Athlon XP2000+. Currently the Mac platform has been hampered by Motorola's PowerPC road map. Next month new machines based on IBM's Power4 with Altivec should start shipping. My other two machines are lowly G3 based machines one is a 350 MHz iMac and the other is a 700 MHz iBook. Both of these machines run OSX 10.2.6. I ran the Gentoo Live CD on the iBook with no problems. I don't think Linux will be able to replace OSX on these machines for me, I will leave Linux on the 7100 and my x86 machines. -- Ray Russell Mac OS X 10.2.6 _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
