I haven't always admired Macs. In fact, for a long time I considered them "toys" and I considered PCs "tools". However, for what it was designed to do, the Mac is one hell of an OS. It's very stable, easy to use, and built for multimedia. And lately, with the release of Mac OS X and it's POSIX shell, I've really come around to support the Mac. I personally don't think I'd have more use for it over Linux, but now I can finally test that theory.

I stumbled across a screenshot that showed a system running something called Mac on Linux. After looking it over, it seems pretty cool. The free implementation will run any version of Mac above 7.5.2 (with a ROM image), and any version of Mac after 8.6 without a ROM image. Now, coupled with VMWare, I can run nearly every OS out there from the comfort of my Linux environment. Woohoo!

I don't know anything about how stable it is, but if I ever get my hands on a copy of Mac OS X, I'll be sure to give it a try. Especially since there is now a way for me to use f#$%ing QuickTime on Linux!

This may be old news for many of you, but it was new news to me. Hope it's new news to some of you, too.
