Carving up Apple
billy_gates:
Back on topic. I would not mind seeing Apple break up. Especially if it caused the release of Marklar. The only readon I use Apple products is for OSX. While their hardware doesn't suck... it is expensive, slow, and behind the time. No one even sells PC's now with only 2 channel stereo. No one makes PPC as cheap as x86 and even if they did, a clone machine can't run OSX, it need a stupid ROM thing. I really don't care if Apple breaks up, I just want fucking Marklar.
One of these days I'm gonna "Splinter Cell" into Apple HQ in Cupertino and take my ipod and "ditto" Marklar onto it. hopefully they will just have a cd lying around though. dittoing being the command that can successfuly clone not only resource forks, but also preserve file permissions, it can be used to copy a working version of OSX to another drive.

doesn't marklar equal x86/Darwin? maybe you would be interested in using that. so far i can see two projects that might be the equivelant of MacOSX on Intel type machines:
GNU/Darwin
and
Apple Darwin and
OpenDarwin
now apple darwin appears to be a totally open source system. they give you instructions for how to install it using MacOSX, and they say darwin is capable of building itself, they also say it can be run on an intel type machine, but they don't appear to say how. The whole system is available as source code though... Also, OpenDarwin appears to be somehow related to the Apple Dawrin thing and maybe the two are the same? OpenDarwin seems to have a bit about installing on an x86...
GNU/Darwin looks like it might be quite easy to install on an apple mac or an x86, as they even sell install CDs of it as well as providing network install instructions. their site also has links to useful looking things like fink and XonX...
might be worth looking into for people who really want MacOSX on their intel computer.

Yes, I have tried these. They don't have Aqua or quartz. I would be stuck using XFree86. Also, they don't run on AMD machines, I only have 1 non AMD machine lying around. They also seemed incomplete, they didn't have all of the commands and stuff that OSX have.
