Agreed; while I'm sure we all agree that MacOS blows[1], the modern Mac hardware leaves PCs in the dust. Don't crucify me for admitting to this, but I do run Linux on a Mac 7600/132 (that's a 132MHz PPC) and it absolutely flies. The problem with ports to Mac hardware has always been Apple's reluctance to release the required information, but the existence of two independent ports of Linux to the PPC (one sanctioned by Apple) indicates that Apple's attitude has changed. NetBSD actually has an experimental PowerMac port in progress. Last I checked, it was booting succesfully into single-user mode. Chuck Youse [1] This is an unfair criticism, as MacOS was ahead of its time when it was designed nearly 20 years ago, and ran on hardware primitive by today's standards.
