Hi, for an upcoming OSM booth we have the offer of a local Apple dealer to supply us with all the hardware we want (including 30"+ displays and all). These would, however, be out-of-the-box Macs with those funny keyboards and those mice without buttons you know... and they wouldn't even let us pop an Ubuntu CD in and install a proper OS ;-)
My question to the Mac users out there: Will those Macs be suitable for demonstrating all important aspects of OSM, i.e. * Slippy Map (heard rumours that it runs sub-optimal on Safari, always loading tiles for all layers instead of current only?) * JOSM (especially concerned about usability with 1 button mouse) * Potlatch * ...? Or will I have to install countless helpers, utilities and control panels? I would like to accept the offer but if I end up endlessly tuning those machines to act like normal computers then I'd rather opt for run-down but working Linux boxes from the community instead of the shiny Macs.
