Triple Boot goal: OS X, Gentoo Linux, and Windows 7

Posted 05-16-2010 at 09:26 AM by Seph64 (Seph64's Lair)

I am intending to install Linux on this Mac Mini of mine.

Well, actually it's installed. So it's already coinciding with OS X and Windows nicely.

Partitions:

90 or so GB for OSX
23GB for Linux
40GB for Windows

Not a lot of options for a 160GB drive anymore. I might purchase a bigger hard drive later, of course I will also need the proper tools to open the mac up. I saw how it is done.

One of the problems I ran...

Portal, Steam and OS X: A Mini Review

Posted 05-12-2010 at 10:13 PM by Seph64 (Seph64's Lair)

System Setup
Mac Mini
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.26 GHZ
2GB of Ram (256MB of which is shared with the graphics Device)
160GB HDD
GeForce 9400M
Snow Leopard (updated to 10.6.3)

Performance
I am going to get this out of the way first. Yes, the game doesn't perform as well as I would have liked. But that's mostly the fault of the system I chose (9400M is not the greatest GPU out there). And some of the fault, at least according to what I read...

RE: Steam: Possible Linux Client in the future? Continued

Posted 05-12-2010 at 04:51 PM by Seph64 (Seph64's Lair)

Steam for OS X has arrived (with Portal being the only Source game available atm). And still no official word from Valve concerning a possible Linux port of Steam and Source.

However, that does not stop phoronix and other online news sites from reporting that Valve has confirmed a Linux client (without a source).

Whatever happened to proper journalism? Where they...

Installing Audacious Media Player in OSX?

Posted 04-26-2010 at 09:28 AM by Seph64 (Seph64's Lair)

I'm getting a Mac soon, and I realize that I need a music player software for it.

Is it possible to install Audacious Media Player in OSX (Snow Leopard)? What apps would I need to install before installing it?

I don't mind compiling it if that is what I need to do.

Thank you in advance,
-Seph64

Few months back, I posted a blog post concerning Steam and Linux.

Now with the Closed Steam for Mac beta underway, people have noticed that in the same script that launches Steam in OSX has Linux entries.

This implies Valve is porting Steam to Linux.

To make things more interesting, there's references to linux steam client files on steampowered.com
