1. The abbreviation for a Macintosh computer is Mac. MAC is the abbreviation for Media Access Control. They are not the same thing.
2. I've been running these "heavy" tasks on my PPC & Intel Macs 24/7 since the original SETI without a problem. If anything, Macs are overbuilt.
3. Calling other people names (sheeple) is childish, if you can't be respectful of other people perhaps you should get off the internet.

Have a nice day! :)

I would like to make a suggestion:

Since Linux (Ubuntu) is free and available and supported fully, why don't you just dual boot your hackintosh instead of waiting for a miracle?

I saw this tread and was going to propose that no-one should run these heavy tasks on MAC to start with. They overheat and are very expensive to replace and with closed channel service and support should be avoided as much as possible, unless you are just an Apple sheeple that follows the heard..then just go ahead.

I understand the reason for having a hackintosh and I use to have one too.

Best regards

I've done several installs of Ubuntu and Debian on PowerPC, sometimes when I install BOINC on ppc linux I can get MilkyWay work units and sometimes I cannot, instead BOINC Manager gives me the message

"Message from server: platform 'powerpc-linux-gnu' not found"

Why is powerpc-linux-gnu sometimes supported and sometimes not?
