Has anyone installed Darwin into a (windows) pc??
Ok, i have an acer laptop ...
that works fine with redhat linux, no windows in it so far... but i was wondering whether to install darwin in it.
now, has anyone installed Darwin to a non-apple computer .. laptop???
how probablt it will give me troubles??
or better leave it as linux??
gee. i think this is the only place to ask cos i dont like to go windows boards and none of my mac, linux or windows using friends has ever tried it.
i won't try darwin on my mac cos i'm happy with os x so far.
thanks if anyone has had any darwin experiences <img src="graemlins/bugeye.gif" border="0" alt="[Skeptical]" />

Not quite.
There should be about the same amount of software for Darwin/x86 as there is for Darwin/PPC, since both pools are generally compiled from the same sources.
If anything, there's probably more code that would be easier to port to Darwin/x86.
Yes, folks have had varying degrees of success running Darwin on x86 systems - the more vanilla and close to a reference spec motherboard, the better.
<a href="http://www.opendarwin.org" target="_blank">www.opendarwin.org</a> is a good place to start looking for info on Darwin in general.
(Hey, if Mulattabianca wants to run Darwin on their PC hardware, lets *support* it, m'kay? )
