Re: Which Linux for Mac works best with Swarm?

[Darren Schreiber]

I'm in the same boat.  I had Swarm working on my Linux PPC for a 
number of months, until a terrible and fatal hard drive crash did bad 
things.  I have been pursuing other research interests for a while (I 
have been doing brain imaging of political thinking) and want to use 
Swarm on Mac OS X.  I am planning on installing OS X in the next 
month and will be glad to help with the port at that time.  But, I 
must confess I am not the best with Linux type stuff.

So, count me in.
