    Well, at least it wasn't Windows M... aw, crap. :/

    Because asking would make me look like a pervert.
    We're all perverts on the internet. :P

    Also, I'm thinking of fuddling about with my next computer and putting OSx86 on it for kicks. Of course, I'll have moved to a place where that's legally possible when I do that, of course. Either that, or I won't do it, because I never break laws ever. :O

    Oh boy. OSx86.
    I remember I tired doing it. Didn't work with my AMD X2 You need alot of kernels.
    And make sure your computer is able to handle it.

    It actually isn't that hard, all i had to do was select a few packages for my computer and it was fine ( but my computer has it's own website for it, so that's why it was so easy :P), i used it for about 2 weeks and got bored, switched to Windows again -- back on to the main topic.

    I used Linux since 2007, always had it as a secondary on my laptop, just to fiddle around with it and learn how to do stuff, Mac OSX -- don't really like it, don't really see the need to fork in the extra cash, when i could be playing top end games on a brand new windows computer, amirite? nah i'm just fooling.. but Apple does overprice their stuff.

    Well, *erhm* let's get started.

    My main latest greatest PC is of course running Windows 7 RC1 because I bought the parts to play Gmod 11 :P. i'll be switching back to either Gentoo or Arch (this most likely) in 2010 when the RC expires). However, on my laptop, I am running Sidux (KDE fanboy, lol). On my testbed PC, a Dell machine, I have OpenSuSE 11.2 RC1 running, and I have to say, it's finally somewhat stable!

    Upstairs I have a couple of Dell Optiplex GX110s running FreeBSD as Mail Servers.

    OSX86 is a pedestrian experience, nowadays.
    Here's the lowdown:

    Install Chameleon 2.0 to a thumb-drive.
    Boot from Thumbdrive
    Select your Retail Snow Leopard DVD when the menu loads
    Install OSX on HDD.
    Boot from Thumbdrive
    Select Installed HDD when the menu loads
    Install Chameleon on the Installed HDD

    That's it. Truly.

    BenRK, seriously, if I see one more image post macro from you, you will be receiving a warning or an infraction depending how stupid it is.

    I'm sorry, but I find no where in the rules that images expressing an emotion or action are illegal on this site. Yes, my first one was wrong, as it had no text, but everyone after had no reason to be deleted, as it met the rules of the site.

    If the person I quoted doesn't like it, then boo hoo, I did nothing wrong. So, may I keep my lengthy post with a single image of Jean-luc Picard with his hand on his face, expressing how I believe the quote is misleading, biased, and over all stupid, or is it to pornographic for you?

    I am quoting because your stupidity is biased. If you can't handle the truth, gtfo to another forum.

    I've kept a calm demeanor about this whole thing, if you haven't noticed. I, personally, have nothing against Macs, and if someone wishes to use them, more to them. It's more using this to make your self feel superior, as well as bashing Windows and Linux that make it misinformed, biased, and over all stupid.

    Each operating system has its advantages and disadvantages, and when it all gets down to it, it's up to the user on which one they use, but if they only pick it to feel that much more superior, then, well, I'm repeating my self now.

    Also, I do believe moderators should be keeping the peace, rather then helping the flames and spouting non-existent, and down right conflicting rules. My two cents.

    Really? Where do I ruin it? By posting an image? I say, if that's ruining things, the world has gone mad!
