    SSIA…

    Haven’t gotten my hands on one of the new iMacs quite yet (on order) and I saw a video on Bombich’s site that shows the Mac netbooting in 36 seconds, compared to 74 seconds for a Power Mac G5.

    I have always wanted to boot a computer lab off of a server and have to deal with one image, much like a terminal server, and was wondering if anyone here was doing that yet and if the x86 had better performance doing just that.

    Today I created an Universal OS X (as described on Mac OS X Hints) for our Netboot Server.
    Just for testing I started a 1,8 GHz PPC iMac G5 and an Intel iMac at the same time. The result was that the Intel iMac booted in the half of the time.
