[ILUG] Macintosh?

[Ferren MacIntyre]

I'm a new subscriber.  80 messages this morning—all, apparently, from
people trying desperately to escape the clutches of Bill Gates.  Having
myself done so successfully and happily by 1980, I sympathize
wholeheartedly, and wish you luck.

However, even Macintosh users sometimes feel a need access the vast
quantities of fossil code written for Unix, and even though OS X
promises such access, it is not here yet in any operational sense, and
the ethical appeal of community software makes Linux attractive.

Nevertheless, your list—however poignant and heartfelt—makes obscure and
largely irrelevant reading.

Is anyone else in Ireland attempting to use Linux on the Mac?  I have
LinuxPPC 2000 and am informed that I need 2000Q4 to get past the  "hdb:
Interrupt lost"   complaint.  I thought perhaps I'd ask for advice
before continuing in this direction.  Any recommendations?

Are there enough of us to warrant a Mac list, or should  just
unsubscribe?
