Re: TI-H: This is for you robert
That is correct. In fact, most of the Mac users I know run mklinux.
However, mklinux is not available for many Mac processors--since Apple
fundamentally changes their processors so often, perhaps. On the other
hand, linux is available on the x86 line from the 286 upto the PII (786).
