Linux beats Windows to Intel iMac

Filed under: Aviran Mordo @ 4:49 pm

The Mactel-Linux folks have now successfully booted Linux on a 17″ Core Duo iMac. They used the elilo bootloader, a modified kernel, and a hacked vesafb to boot from a USB drive. No GUI pictures for now, just white text on a black background. The distro of choice was Gentoo, and instructions and patches are promised this weekend.
