Anti-Mac Sentiment...
Chooco:
i bash macs all the time because they never seem to work properly at school. my school has lots of wintels and maybe 30 macs or so... the macs are fast with excellent graphics BUT half the students' login IDs and passwords don't even work, it has HUGE problems trying to pass through the school's proxy and it always gets errors when starting up where it has the picture of a bomb and the only button you can select is 'restart'
the wintel computers at school don't have those problems, all names and passwords work, they never actually crash (no intensive work like servers or games) and they actually have 2 buttons where you can just right click and select the function you want. despite that thing of "oh well hold the command button and click the mouse on a mac" that doesn't work at all, i've tried that LOTS of times and it just doesn't work on those... the computers are Imacs all of them are 600mhz connected through WIRES, not wireless (just so you don't claim it might be a problem with interferance)
i've never been badmouthed for using Linux, most people dont even know what that is.
Calum:
well that mac problem sounds like bad network administration, but then maybe those macs are hard to administrate?
back to the aside, do any of those 68k emulators run in linux? i would like to try and run a MacOS under linux some time...

edit - those maconlinux guys seem to only offer versions written for mac versions of linux!! what's the point? you could just dual boot!! i will email them......
[edit - just noticed goseberry's reply, sorry, goose, i basically just spoke shite by saying exactly what you said... :D ]

But that only works on Linux/ppc. If you have an x86, use Basilisk.
