[plug][ot] Getting linux running ona beige g3 mac

[Carl Gherardi]

Hey all,

All this mac talk got me thinking - has anyone managed to get a DVD
running as their desktop wallpaper under either KDE or Gnome yet?

I managed to find a way under OS 9, and use a 3rd party app to go full
screen using OSX.2 (transperant terminals running over the matrix... Oh
yeah!) but never got around to figuring out how to do it using X11.

Anyone even attempted this?

Bah. Remove microsoft products from OS 9 and everything "Just works"

Rekon I'd take a mac first, maybe not the LC3. One thing in apples favor
has always been superior hardware, and having an integrated opengl
desktop now... Its hard to go past.
