Ports: Debian on a m68k Mac!

Hello again. I have just found out about the coolest thing. It is possible to put Linux on a Mac. Okay, an older Mac. Go here for more details: http://www.jagshouse.com/Linux68k.html.
I will have more details on m68k Linux and Unix later on.

Unix today: SGI emerges from bankruptcy!

I know this is sort of old news, but on October 17th, Silicon Graphics emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. The company's market share was being eaten by Apple and other companies that were strongly competing with SGI. SGI plans to end its mips line this December, and will use a new platform next year.

Mac OSX Application Review- MacOSaiX

MacOSaiX

What is it?
It is an application for Mac OSX that basically takes any picture and attempts to create a mosaic out out it using you own picture collections, glyphs and Google Image search terms.

Pros:
Good idea. Sometimes works. I do give the creators credit because this is a very hard thing to pull off. Fun to use.

Cons:
Slows down computer, A LOT! Mosaics don't always seem right to me. Takes a while to create.

Price:
Free!! (I think)

Here is a picture of it in action:


Final Verdict:
Its free so what the heck, download it. Its definitely worth a try.

What I Work With (by Harry K.A.)

Machines at my Disposal,

  • A Dell running a pretty up to date version of Suse
  • A Dell that we never use because it crashed (was running Windows so what do you expect?) but that could be used for somthing more usefull if needed.
  • iBook G4 (my baby)
  • Then there are 3 other laptops in out house but those are my family members and they would kill me if I messed them up. (even though I am helping them with them all the time )

Meet you in the next life,
Harry


P.S.
Here is a comic I thought you all might enjoy.
