A Linux commercial.
Oct. 21st, 2003 11:52 amA friend of mine got some old hardware. Alot of Mac hardware. So I take it home.
Take out an old 7200, locate all the peices, put 'em together.
I boot it up... and up comes a familar sight. Good ol' MacOS 9.1.
I then remember that MacOS 9.1 isn't a premptive multitasker. Each program has to hand control over to each otehr program one after another after another after another. It reminded me of Windows 3.1! To add onto this, the 7200 isn't supported by MacOS 10!
ARGH!
So I get it hooked online, add another hard drive to it, and net-install Linux.
OH Haleulia Slackware Linux. I can make it into a powerhouse XWindows workstation. I can have it running Distributed.net. I can even slap MySQL on it and have it serve as a webserver.
I still keep MacOS on that system. But usually I BootX into Linux and boot back into MacOS via MacOnLinux.
