The Linux kernel is now up and running on an Intel iMac, and as such the Linux guys have beaten the windows guys. "Using elilo and a modified Linux kernel, we can boot from a USB hard disk on the 17" iMac Core Duo. We are using the hacked vesafb driver to inherit the bootloader's framebuffer, keyboard and a USB network card work. Gentoo runs and can compile the Linux kernel." Note that you can't really do much more than stare at the shell prompt, as no graphical environment boots yet.

The Command line has it place as does well designed GUI
If you thinking using using a CLI for Video editing your brain damaged, for hacking its the only tool.
So now STFU over CLI/GUI morons.
If Linux can boot with a modded elilo that opens a pathway to boot XP as well Yeah? all good news.
I'd like to see Elive on a Intel MAC, oh yeah baby!
