Tiger x86 on my dell6000 August 16th 2005, ricardo
Yeah! I had finally my geeky evening and after download the needed files during all the weekend I'm finally writting this post from Deer Park Alpha 2 (Firefox x86) :D

How I did it?
I just followed this how-to. There was some problems with ubuntu, as the HD was not really HDA, but wasn't too hard to fix.

Is it fast?
It starts faster than windowsXP in that machine :O!

Should I do the same?
Not yet.. as it's a ultra hacked version, some features doesn't work properly and also safari was crashing all the time (that's why I'm using firefox x86 ;). Also, the screen doesn't want to be at 1920x1200 :P There is no option. I'll probably do a bit more of research about how to fix these things.. And also, looks like rosseta doesn't want to work here :/

Anyway, it's quite cool.. The problem wasn't the machine, the problem was the OS! ;)

of course that the problem is the OS... but what the hell you need a p4 with 2 millions of Mhz to emulate a machine of 7Mhz? (you know what i'm telling....) XD
