EtherTalk was
added back in 10.2, which is still the version of OS X I use
day-to-day (my file server runs 10.3 and my laptop runs 10.4, but 10.2 seems
to be the best compatibility conjunction for me).
10.3 added a *must have* feature for me, and that's the fast user switching.
The only gain I see with 10.4 is better font support in X-Windows, and that
doesn't offset the loss of classic Appletalk support. I think it's been a *LONG* time since I looked at
either of those. I didn't
even realize Sheepshaver ran on Linux, and I've never looked at PearPC. Are
there Mac OS X native versions of any of these? Sheepshaver looks close to
what I'm looking for.
PearPC, dunno.
Sheepshaver, yes! There is an OS X version here (clunky but works):
http://www.gibix.net/projects/sheepshaver/
It runs under 10.2.8 and up. It's stable, just not very friendly.
Based on what little time I was able to spend earlier
looking at the site
trying to get info on iLive '06 they seem to be seriously lacking on info on
their new products.
I'll say.
