[GRASS-user] re: Mac OSX- How slow can you go?

[Harald Hofmann]

Just a little command ...
I am using the binaries from William Kyngesburye on a MacBook Pro 2Ghz 
Dual Core with 2G RAM (GRASS 6.3). Have used the ones from Lorenzo as 
well. After installing the framework packages everything worked very 
well so far ...

Cheers
Harald
