Does anyone on the list have experience with Linux on a Mac? I was thinking that maybe I'll buy a Mac, and run OS/X and Linux, and then run Virtual PC under OS/X for the occasional bit of Windows and OS/2 Warp.
I own a Mac clone (Motorola StarMax 3000/200) that used to run MacOS, because I didn't like Windoze. I initially thought this was a nice idea until I started programming for MacOS. Luckily I then discovered LinuxPPC and installed it on my StarMax. Because Linux runs on a PC this was my next choice. Now I run Linux on an AMD Athlon. I have YellowDog Linux from this months Linux Format mag, but it doesn't install on my StarMax. I have previously installed LinuxPPC1999 successfully. I am quite happy with Linux on my AMD and its very stable, so I would personally choose not to by another Mac. One problem I did have was with a PCI network card in my StarMax, the ne2k-pci kernel module had an endian problem which I fixed. But this was from an old kernel.
