Vista.Tiger.Linux.

Klyde · 09-24-2006, 11:08 PM

I think that i heard that you can now install XP on a MAC computer? I was wondering if you could do the opposite and install Tiger on a windows system as a second or third OS.

I am running XP now, upgrading to Vista (32 bit) in a week or two, will install linux as second OS. Just wondering if after i did that i could also install tiger on the same system.

Thanks

Also, a poll, please vote for which OS you think is best.
Thanks again

1=XP
2=Vista
3=Linux
4=Tiger

Yes, you can run OS X on a PC. However, you need a special version of it, called OSx86. Go here for more info: http://forum.insanelymac.com/

thats good to now.

Can i run all three on one system(linux,pc,vista)?

I'm not sure if this will do it but you can probably do a triple-boot.

Triple boot should work. Though, it would take up a bit of space on the comp. Would there be any reason to do so? Or just to tell your buddies that you have all 3?

well, i guess it is just more to say i did it.

i could probably just do two and that would be ok.

I am definitly doing Vista, which would be better, linux or OSX? for my second OS.

How much space would it take exactly, just curious?

Well firstly, i wouldn't rely on Vista as your primary OS.

Klyde · 09-25-2006, 10:36 PM

and why not? what should my primary bee? if Linux is will i have any compatiblity issues.

What is rong with Vista?

As of right now Vista in its beta stages can still be potentially unstable. Also, its always a good idea to wait until the first service pack or major update for an OS comes before you get it. The debut release for any software always has problems.

At the moment, quite a lot, driver issues, stability problems, still quite a few security loopholes to be patched. Couple of glitches still there. Its just not finished yet, if you actually want to do work on it then dont use vist, either get handy in linux or use XP, i suggest linux.
