Knoppix (with full GUI) on the Intel-based Macintosh

We are releasing the first pictures of Knoppix 4.0 running on a 17-inch iMac Core Duo. The X Window system is shown running at full resolution (rather, fuller resolution — 1472x900 — notice that the bottom right edge of the KDE "dock" is cut off). Most (but not all) aspects of the hardware seem to work, but we have yet to analyse exactly what doesn't work and assess how much work it might take to get such things working. Once we have tested the system a bit more, we will try to release a full Knoppix distribution through Bit Torrent. We also have to trawl through the kernel source and the umpteen kernel "config" files so that we can release a coherent set of patches.L33tdawg: The technical discussion and details on how Amit and his friends achieved this is here: http://www.osxbook.com/book/bonus/misc/linux/.
