How come we are talking about Linux and apps?
I use both macs and PCs but I never take my PCs on line. As I said, then Paul and Ross would find out that that I sell black market Licenses. But if we had an i app now then Apple would get a piece of the action as you have to go through a somewhat long process and they do deny them (the apps for i app, but do aprove around 70% so they say, I think it has to do with their cut of the action personally) and have recently been called on by the FCC for unreasonably denying them(the i apps platform that is). Apple has answered and It seemed reasonable to me, they want a piece of the action.
So, if it were me I would try Linux and a different medium. But with Linux and unix, One can steal most info pretty easy with the use of a pseudo, pseudo sam or alias and hide it with a secret invisible Samba and password). DOS is just as easy though. Apple does tick me off as I cant load my hundreds of CDs (mostly music and movies) I own and paid for on my ipods and the touch because apple wants to sell it to me again thru iTunes, go figure. Oddly enough Ipods and most players use RAW or a FAT partition and not a fat32 or guid. Interesting!!! They do have PCs that can now run on either or both linux/unix and even Mac OX, they are called macpc's, Micromacs, macdosses or crapples (ithink one way is a program called Pear4). This is not boot camp or Parallel. U can also use thum sticks for linux/windows and now mac OX.
What are the EFILive guys up to with Linux? By the way guys, Tordne knows all of this and is very good with Macs and PCs, so hound him, he also has a cell phone!! His # is.... I better not.
Cant wait to find out,
