Greetings!
Any chance that you guys will be porting Debian to the new Mac
Intel-built
Core Duo processors (assuming the current PowerPC version won't run on
them)?
Well, they are no powerpc macs, so i guess having debian running on them
is
probably similar to running debian on any random x86 box, with the added
hurdle that you will find some closed hardware and maybe hostility from
apple.
Windows Vista is belived to run on them, so the new macs are already
supported by GNU/Linux.
(If that seems strange remember that GNU/Linux supports virtually everything
Windows supports.)
Also note that hostility from Apple is unlikely. Apple has already said they
will do nothing to prevent installing Windows
on these PCs. (Yes, finally you can call a Mac a PC. w00t!) Apple really
won't oppose GNU/Linux either.
Apple is mainly only concerned with people runing OS X on non Apple
Hardware.
