> So what would be the best way to run Django on an Intel Mac? dont. Get an intel machine for the django. Network the two machines. Should be possible to have just as good performance on an obsolete intel machine as you will get on the intel mac using a virtual machine, and that will free up considerable resources on the intel mac for other work.
Member my refernce to PDP-8? one of the earlier general purpose simulator engines was written to simulate the PDP-8, proof of concept, easily checked as the developer had ready access to machines of diferent versions at DEC. The simulator was then used to test software written for hardware in development. Simulation is the only practical way to utilise software written for unavailable machines. either not yet, or no longer shipping. Machines to a design that will never be shipped (as have been used in teaching) are another use. I suppose a case can be made for saving desktop space, time was there were boxes would allow sharing of keyboard, mouse, and monitor betwixt machines; maybe still available, tho remote control setups (timbuktu on legacy macs) that deal with headless servers tucked away in closets in remote buildings on campus (or satellite museums or...) seem to have taken over. I dunno, you are paying for the OS either way, might as well have a second CPU for more gidyup n go, as well as a real slot for the install media and clearer blame as to what driver is messing up, the virtual or the .... -- Dana Emery To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
