I've spent enough already on my Apple products, thanks. - FKnight, on 05/05/2009, -0/+9Comment buried for thinking BSD is a Linux distro.
- JPresEFnet, on 05/05/2009, -3/+9haha, when you said 'Mac OS X look-alike' I thought you meant this had the look and feel of OS X, but it doesn't. I see what you did there.
- LonelyTylenoL, on 05/05/2009, -0/+5You should have run it with VirtualBox. It's free.
- FKnight, on 05/05/2009, -0/+4FTA
"If you read Superman comics as a kid or an adult then you're probably already familiar with Kandor, the Kryptonian capital city that was miniaturized by the evil Braniac and trapped in a bottle. Well how ironic then that I managed to stumble across an operating system in a very similar situation."
Is it too much to ask that at least *ONE* person look up the definition of the word "Ironic" before trying to use it? - LoneWolf01, on 05/05/2009, -2/+5Isn't VMware Player free?
- inactive, on 05/05/2009, -1/+4Buried for 10 pages. The lamest of all web design tricks.
- Arsenard, on 05/04/2009, -2/+4I got better ... OpenBSD trapped in VMware !!!!
- lowtolerance, on 05/05/2009, -1/+3read the article.
- cmost, on 05/05/2009, -0/+2Anyone can install FreeBSD (or I would imagine similarly, NetBSD, OpenBSD or DragonflyBSD) on any ol' vanilla Mac. Using VMWare or any other virtualization software within OS-X is unnecessary. Here's a somewhat outdated (but nonetheless excellent) guide. http://goddess-gate.com/dc2/index.php/post/251 I'm sure there are others. People who run Macs need to realize that their computer is fairly generic and commodity and any OS worth a damn will run on it. There's nothing mystical about OS-X other than it's available ONLY on the Mac and not to the rest of the public. Unless you count "Hackintosh".
- Jaliyl, on 05/05/2009, -0/+2Sounds good like it could be good. I've thought about making a small non-windows VM for ***** like browsing porn and shady websites/downloads but I'm easily frustrated and linux makes me feel like this guy.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEDjyVbyJM0 - anshuman, on 05/05/2009, -1/+2well its a Trap .
just google and get OSx86 running, its full Mac OSX on your pc , i am doing it right now, on my HP DV 6000 laptop. - mrBitch, on 05/05/2009, -1/+2Your prior posts indicate you don't have a clue what you're talking about.
Please either :
1. get a clue, or
2. stop posting comments on subjects you know nothing about. - mrBitch, on 05/11/2009, -0/+1@ specialK16, RE: " ... I can assure mrBitch (a known apple bitch btw) that I know way much more than you do about the subject."
I can assure you, specialK16, that I know far more about multiple OS systems and their strengths and weaknesses than you do.
As for being "an apple bitch", I only started using OS X two years ago.
Before then, I was (and still am) a software developer that has been coding applications since BEFORE the days of DOS.
After DOS, most of my earlier career was on earnings made from working in the Microsoft DOS & Windows development environments.
I am also an avid gamer.
I bought a MacBook Pro two years ago (the first Apple hardware I have ever owned), and it's the best laptop I have ever used.
As another hard core Windows developer has said on his blog :
http://www.davidalison.com/2009/03/switching-from- ...
" ... Since switching to Macs from Windows a little over a year ago I've tried as much as possible to approach it objectively, calling out both the good and bad as I learned my way around OS X ...
... As a Windows user I never questioned the Mac's user interface. It looked "pretty", a back-handed compliment if there ever was one. What I did not know, and not a single Mac advocate ever mentioned to me for fear of scaring me away (I assume), was that Macs could channel that inner power user like no other machine could. "
Seriously, if you are having trouble adapting to new concepts, maybe you should just stick to games? - jonstafari, on 05/06/2009, -0/+1so is virtualbox :)
- IamNomad, on 05/05/2009, -0/+1that funny on my unix workstation i have a VM of windows xp for the opposite reason... seeing what those sites and virused software do.
- AReallyGoodName, on 05/06/2009, -0/+1VMWare Player is limited, you can't make virtual machines with it.
Hell even VMWare paid-for versions are limited.
I've always found VirtualBox to be one of those examples where open source has produced something better and more usable than the commercial competition. For one it has working 3D hardware virtualization on a virtualised Mac or Linux install (VMWare only gives 3D support when you virtualise Windows).
It can virtualise 64bit systems on 32bit guests if you really want to, VMWare can't do that.
VirtualBox allows you to dedicate a peice of hardware (like a hard drive) exclusively to a vitual machine, the virtual machine can then access that hardware natively. VMWare can't do that.
VMWare Workstation can't use more than 2 CPUs at a time.
VMWare has had a number of vulnerabilities found that allowed virtualised systems to get out of the box.
etc.
Seriously use VirtualBox, not VMWare for the home environment. For the corporate environment use Xen. - lowtolerance, on 05/05/2009, -1/+1I really have to try that... I can't find any info on whether or not it'll run on a DV 9600, though.
- MarkBrent, on 05/04/2009, -3/+3Awesome review, I'll surely try it.
- Memstat, on 05/20/2009, -0/+0well really this is mute to me. especially since os x is based on darwin, which is a freebsd port.
- Nephersir7, on 05/05/2009, -1/+1I run the retail version of OSX on my PC. i personally prefer ubuntu, vista and 7, but they all run great
- specialK16, on 05/05/2009, -1/+1I can assure mrBitch (a known apple bitch btw) that I know way much more than you do about the subject.
But, God I love trolling idiots like you. - dagr8tim, on 05/05/2009, -3/+1VMware Player and VMware server that runs on a windows OS is also free.
- ChayesFSS, on 05/05/2009, -4/+1you can DL and run mac osx in vmware already, look it up on any newsserver
- LonelyTylenoL, on 05/05/2009, -4/+1Dido.
- tama00, on 05/05/2009, -6/+2Buried for being extremetech.com, i hate that website, there not in it for the quality written articles or because they love technology, there in it for the money. By dragging out articles on 10 pages, writing about absolute crap and copying other stories written by other websites.
Please Digg don't drop this low. - theartofennui, on 05/05/2009, -7/+1this is one of the lamest reviews of a linux distro i have ever seen. the person who wrote this obviously has never used a linux distro for anything more then browsing the net. the only real insight given is that the OS resembles os x ('it has the buttons in the top left corner just like Mac OS X')... SO WHAT? go install a dock in windows and itll seem like a mac too...lame
- specialK16, on 05/05/2009, -11/+3So is this like a crappy version of an already crappy OS?
