G'day It's a *looooong* story, I'm considering getting one of the new imacs to run linux (some of the howtos say dual boot OSX in case you need to update the firmware)
So Has anybody done it, what experiences? I want to wake on lan. BIOS (EFI) available enough to do that? I want to build an run myth tv. Does the graphics support xv etc to get a reasonable picture? If I really *have* *to* upgrade firmware (in the unlikely event of depressurization ....) why would I not install OSX back for that? Does OSX work with a MS optical mouse (I've got baby duck when it comes to the apple mouse) I'll use rj45 not wireless, but It'd be nice to know if that was recognised. Finally running OSX in a VM looks as though it utterley complies with the license. (I have done it: a working vbox OSX 10.6 (5?6?latest) running on my desktop) BTW the hardware is rather nice, and the AU apple shop are really bend-over- backwards helpfull) thanks James -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
