I just got a full Lindows 4 os given to me. It came with a magazine. Anyway...my Peecee friend said that there is no way lindows could be operated under the Unix OS-X hood...?



A challenge....Is he right..or a wrong....can it be done ?

    Ummm....



    I was under the impression Lindows is for x86 only. Also, OS X is NOT Linux under the hood, it is based on FreeBSD (if I misunderstood your question I apologize).

    My error, your right...Unix of course.( i am tired at the moment )...but I was thinking more along emulator lines.....I should have made myself clearer..



    It is an interesting thought nevertheless

    Emulator? Sure, fire up Virtual PC and make Linux hard drives and installations to your heart's content.



    Lindows itself will never run *natively* on a Mac unless Lindows decides so.
