houdini 9 on a Mac..
1.Prep a partition of your hard drive using Fat32 bit setting (using the Disk Utility), or better- just add an extra hard drive and use it solely for the linux partition.
2. download CentOs 5, it's about a 4 gig download, takes about 4 hours if you have a t1 connection.
3. Burn the CentOs 5 download onto a dvd.
4. Boot up the mac using the dvd as the startup disk
5. Install linux CentOs 5 following the simple instructions on the dvd.
6. Re boot the mac holding the option key down (to pick which operating system you want to boot into), or better - use an app called ReFit to automatically ask you at boot time what os you want to boot into.
7. Once you boot into CentOs 5, download appropriate graphics drivers for whatever display card you have on the mac, and make sure the open gl driver modules are installed (check the install log).
8. Download Houdini, and install.
9. reboot and launch Houdini
10. Revel as you see H9 running on an 8 core mac with a 30" Cinema Display - fast, clean, simple.
