This is very promising, and running Mac on Linux with the AmigaOne could prove to be real fun! I would love to play the Mac-version ofJedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast on AmigaOne, by having MacOS X on Linux. I would wait until MacOS X is completely supported and can be run through Linux. This is great stuffs!  It's only get better and better!


Don't expect games to work.  I don't know definatively that they don't work, but getting the OS to boot, and getting hardware 3d accelaration so modern games work are usually two very different steps....

Until someone confirms that games work, I would assume that they do not.

But the question then is: can you run two MOL sessions simultaneously? You could have OSX & OS4 both running through Linux if it's possible


OS 4 requires a dongle.  Even though you may in fact have that dongle on your A-one, the MOL box, if its a virtual machine, that virtual machine would have to have access to the dongle.

That being the case, you would have to have a special version of MOL coded for the purposes of running OS 4...

Does this make sense...if I am wrong someone correct me, I am just thinking out loud.

It would be much better, if instead, OS 4 was coded so that it could run on any version of MOL, but then again, that would mean OS 4 would run on more PPC hardware than the A-One so I don't see that happening.
