Re: Witango-Talk: [OT] Mac OS question

[William M Conlon]

And there's always e-Bay.  I've got a closet-full of stuff that will  
run X.2.8.  I actually use a 450MHz DP-G4 that I picked up used --  
way faster than the 200Mhz G3 I used until a few months ago.  I like  
to be on the trailing edge a bit, though my wife (new iMac) thinks  
I'm a little cheap.

But do post on your virtualization progress, as it is the greenest  
way to go -- less energy to run one than two, not to mention all of  
the resources consumed producing a second system.

Thank you Robert,

I appreciate the tip. I know it won't be simple, but I think it's  
worth the effort to try. I'd prefer a Virtual Machine option over  
extra hardware right now.

The cost of Mac OS X is relatively minimal, for the experiment.

I'll let you know if it works out.

Yes, you can, but it is NOT simple, and not for the squeamish. I
assume you mean, not on mac hardware, but pc hardware running
windows, running vmware, or pc hardware running linux running vmware.

Look in the forums and wiki of http://www.osx86project.org/

It involves downloading hacked versions of the install dvd, or
hacking yourself with patches and instructions. And know ahead of
time, that apple strongly is fighting this.

If you are looking for a test bed for mac stuff, best bet is buy a
mini, either new or used. The time you spend hassling with
the above,
would more than cover the cost.

I looked into it, before bootcamp came out, but I have 2
macbook pros
now, they are incredible, and I mainly just use parallels.

For those of you in the know,

I am considering an attempt to install Mac OS X as a VMWare
virtual
machine, as a test environment for my apps with Safari and other
Mac-based browsers. There are several unofficial instructions on
how to do this, with a bit of searching.

My question is: Does the latest version of OS X automatically
support Intel, or do I need a special version?

http://www.apple.com/macosx/

When I click on the link to buy, the hardware requirements simply
says "PowerPC G5, G4 or G3 processor".

Any insight would be helpful, thanks.
