The Mac Trifecta
I’ve been really geeked about my Mac since I triple-booted it. Leopard + Windows 7 + Ubuntu. I’ve done it for a couple of my Computer Engineering friends, and it’s helped them a lot as well. If you’re interested in doing this, here’s the article I used to set up my triple-booted Mac.
Leopard is great. I know most Mac enthusiasts will read this and say “Duh.” I’ve never used the operating system regularly, and I’m very pleased now that I’ve come to the light. I’m thinking about making my way into Mac development after I make significant headway into the iPhone development world.
Windows 7 is pretty cool too. There are some new differences, like the grouping of all the running applications on the taskbar (that kind of reminds me of a less aesthetically pleasing Leopard, but that’s on another note) and the absence of the “Are You Sure?” question upon every move of the mouse. I’m sure there are other differences that I’ve yet to research, but I’m just happy that I get to keep my Adobe CS4 Master Collection with my new setup.
Last, but not least, I develop all my C/C++ coding projects, mainly for my Computer Architecture course, on Ubuntu. Ubuntu will also be my companion during my adventure into the open-source world later next year.
