[1]successfully booted Linux on a 17" Core Duo iMac. They used the elilo
bootloader, a modified kernel, and a hacked vesafb to boot from a USB
drive. No GUI pictures for now, just white text on a black background.
The distro of choice was Gentoo, and instructions and patches are
promised this weekend."
