Does GNU/Linux run on Apple hardware?
by Mayuresh Kathe 22 Mar '19

22 Mar '19

I love Apple's hardware, but don't really like their software much. Am looking to purchase an Apple workstation, but would like to run some GNU/Linux distribution on it. Questions; 1. Is there any GNU/Linux distribution which runs on Apple hardware? 2. Is it legal to run some other OS on Apple hardware? 3. If another OS is run on Apple hardware, does it void warranties? Please avoid sending in responses stating that Apple Mac OS X is better than GNU/Linux in some way. That might be true, but personally, I would prefer GNU/Linux. Thanks, ~Mayuresh

meetups : suggestion : change of venue!
by Mayuresh Kathe 31 Jan '19

31 Jan '19

could the venue for future meetups be changed back to the 'hbcse' campus at mankhurd? it was the place where it all started back in 1997, and it does hold environment of coolness to it, especially with all the trees and greenery and seclusion, et all. ;) on a more serious note, it would be better to reach the end of mumbai than the weird mid-way-off-track location of vidyavihar. if it's a case of lack of resources to conduct the meetup at 'hbcse' then it's okay, but otherwise, nothing beats the atmosphere of 'hbcse'.
