New Uploads Coming...

This is just a heads-up to let you know I am dumping another 50MB or more to MG. As usual, my uploads are (mostly) unchecked, and uploaded to mediafire only.

I hope that my good friends who fixed my previous uploads with proper screenshots, descriptions, s3.amazon re-upload, virus checks etc., will step up to the plate again. There are some interesting titles among this batch.

Almost every blank document icon file is a DiskDup+, ShrinkWrap or really early DiscCopy image. I have mounted them all with the latest beta of DiskCopy. You may wish to convert them if you so wish, or better still, add a note in the comments.

That is all, now off to upload

Cheers.

Glad to see you back working here macmeister!
Hacki and HAIKU are very exciting projects though. If someone donated a SheepShaver build for HAIKU, I would have it as main OS on one of my PCs, like Snow Leo on my ASRock mobo Smile

I hope there will be a Haiku PPC version sometime. Haiku is the only operating system to go for besides classic Mac OS. I hope they do not make the same mistakes as Linux (too many incompatible distributions, many bugs, boring apps, etc.). For Haiku PPC I would be willing to buy good commercial apps - especially printing workflow able competitors to Adobe InDesign and Acrobat. The name Haiku suggests that this should be an operating system for beautiful multilingual typography.

I used Slackintosh 11.0 on my iBook, and everything worked perfectly! even power management and hotkeys (like eject)!!! It is a viable alternative with 300+MB RAM. If you have less, you can switch the window manager to OpenBox (see Crunch Bang! Linux - although it is outdated and non-PPC). I have had Linux running on an old NuBus mac too.

Ubuntu 10.10 is ported to PPC. The only real issue I can see is that assembly code is different for PC/PPC, so high performance assembly code is not used in PPC ports, meaning slower, or no, ports!

Best of luck.

RISC OS also seems to be an interesting alternative to Mac OS X.
