Has anyone tried booting Porteus on a mac?
I thought I should ask first before wasting a day.

Porteus 5.0 is really mature. ;)

I now have a Apple iPad and I have a cable that will let me plug in a USB. Do you think it will let me run Porteus on it?
I just like Slackware because I think it teach you about Linux to build packages where Ubuntu is like Windows you just install programs you want.
