Hi,

I happily run LFS on a MacPro

Posted a "howto" way back then. The article isn't up-to-date anymore (march 2007), things can be done a lot easier nowadays.

I have a Home built PC with Linux, a netbook with Windows XP, and an Old Dell Laptop with Linux. I was considering buying a Macbook pro to replace my old laptop. Since the release of OS X I have really considered looking at Mac, but they are so expensive for what you get IMO.

I have a VM with a macos on it but that is all I ever did with it. I can't find any use for it otherwise.

There is nothing that I need the OS for. All my apps are for the linux/bds/qnx/BeOS or MS.
