| 26 | These guys have been working on running linux on new Macs: |
| 27 | http://www.mactel-linux.org/wiki/Main_Page |
| 28 | They started off by running gentoo, as this pic shows: |
| 29 | http://www.mactel-linux.org/wiki/Image:Gentoo2.jpg |
| 30 | They got a HOWTO going: |
| 31 | http://www.mactel-linux.org/wiki/HOWTO |
| 32 | They have a livecd but it is a Ubuntu one: |
| 33 | http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=160126 |
| 34 | So they have kernel patches, they can boot and they got a dual-boot |
| 35 | guide. Thats enough to install gentoo on your x86 mac I think. With a |
| 36 | bit of hacking. I am sure sooner or later there will be a ready-made |
| 37 | installer CD for it too. |
