Few questions about OS X...

Well, it's not Windows, so it makes sense to support it.

But it's probably illegal at least in the US thanks to the fucked up DMCA (bypassing the TPM checks or whatever..).

So you can thank the fucked up DMCA.

Install ubuntu and then load OS X from installation media, and then go back to the ubuntu installation? (and to make it even more time consuming, load NT alongside that)

No.
1. Partition hard drive - HFS+, ext3, swap
2. Install OSX on HSF+ partition
3. Using Ubuntu installer, erase ext3 partition and then install to free space - this forces Ubuntu to create the PPC boot block

And all my instructions were for Ubuntu PPC and PPC arch.

As a reminder, it would be illegal to install OSX on a non-Apple PC.

DMCA or not, it's still against the law, and we still have to abide by those laws. Until such time that the DMCA is overturned, the owners of the forum could still be held liable under the law for allowing instructions on running OS X on non-Apple hardware to be posted here.

We're just trying to keep things on the up and up. That's the reason I strongly suggest getting a used Mac. It's easier, better, and more legal than hacking OS X for Intel. If being able to run Windows and Linux side by side is important to you, Apple's current lineup features Intel Core processors.

piratePenguin:
Which is another reason I'd always recommend e.g. Ubuntu before OS X.

If you get a letter from a Canonical lawyer (if they exist, lol) you've probably done something actually wrong. They don't need to stand behind shitty laws like the DMCA.

--- Quote from: obob ---Alright, Apple moving to x86 is a reality, and it sounds like you're honestly saying that you want Apple to stay super proprietary and super closed in on itself (which it still is, for the most part) just so that it's an "elite membership" to have an Apple.

No, I want the company and platform to survive you retard.  What part of "OS X development is subsidized through hardware sales" don't you understand?  If they can position themselves to be like Microsoft and make money solely off the OS, I wouldn't mind that -- but it's not a reality, and won't be for a really long time.
