Or just be like everyone else with a mac and duel-boot linux/windows because you need a second OS at times.

boot camp is your friend ... make your friend get linux or windows on his mac :/ i bet they won't even know it's there for a while if you do it without telling them lol
I remember reading in the sensation forum that globatron I believe said there would be a Mac OS X s-off method. Not sure what happened to that though

i'm not sure i'd trust parallels for this. i considered it and decided to use the windows server in my basement and let someone else be the parallels guinea pig. i never bothed with boot camp. the touchpad drivers suck and make me angry.
Lol turns out he already had linux installed in a virtual box so the problem has been solved

Can someone recommend me a Linux distro of their choice? I'm going to start learning how to compile, and develop kernels. I already can allot the time to doing so, and I want to do so.
I have some in mind, but I want to know what you men, and women recommend.
I'd use Ubuntu. You can use it for compiling but also for daily normal things too so having to dual-boot isn't an issue.
Also, your avatar is the best I've seen. Hands down. No contest.

I am fairly proficient on the Windows side and also a total n00b at Linux, however since I have installed Ubuntu 12.04 x64 on one of my laptops, I am actually really beginning to enjoy it as a primary OS. Long story short, my vote goes to Ubuntu.

Ubuntu definitely. It is definitely the distro for people wanting to try out Linux.
There is also the ability to use VirtualBox to have a virtualized install of Windows as a way to have a "familiar environment" to work in. That's what I've done.

I did it in Parallels.
You can't actually do anything on a mac. Joke's on you.
Thats not true. Its a UNIX based OS so it so you can do a LOT of stuff with it
Ok, the unbricker is up.
100% success during testing.
You can get support on freenode IRC channel #FeedPanda.
You can find the detailed instructions and download here:

- No there is not going to be a windows version

People have followed the steps correctly and are now soft bricked. This is not a bash against the dev's of the tool, as they did an amazing job. If there is going to be an updated tool with less risk some people may want to wait, thats all.

Not trying to bash. I used the tool about 0430 cdt today, and it worked smooth as butter.

There has already been a lot of success on Windows. Even if you do brick.... it looks like they already have a solution tool being worked on!
my phone was a success on windows, even flashed the zip to remove the warning text on the boot screen.

Wow, that has got to be the fastest s-off crack of a new hboot! Whatever exploit they use HTC must not have been able to stop it.

Hopefully this can "fix" the issue a few of us have that somehow were updated to hboot 2.09 but still have firmware 1.05 by the 3.15 RUU.

The fact this (DirtyRacun in Genereal) depends on flashing the last RUU is not hopeful though. We'll see and I'll certainly be subscribing to the S-off thread.

I'm curious if the limitation to 32bit is simply because the developers didn't test on 64bit (and therefore won't support) or if there is any real threat to running on 64bit. I guess I could boot Linux 32 from USB, but prefer to just go with what I have. Currently I have Windows 7 64bit. Anyone else have sucess this way?
Now, here's my problem...all my computers are 64 bit. According to unlimited.io, the main issue they have is drivers. But they make it clear that it WILL NOT work on 64 bit... any suggestions rather than getting a new computer?
EDIT: didnt see the posts above me and below bigdaddy's(dunno why) but I think once again its a driver issue like they state on their website.

They make it clear that they WILL NOT SUPPORT, not that it doesn't work. I know it works but it is difficult to support everything, just download a livecd Ubuntu 32bit and load it up, run the exploit and be good to go.

If you're on the latest firmware you'll need to use Babyracun to downgrade and then continue with Dirtyracun or Facepalm. I did Babyracun and then Facepalm.

I didn't even know what Ubuntu was and I was able to get s-off. I suggest you make a live cd and play around with it until you feel comfortable. Its easy just follow the directions to the letter, and download all the files completly first before you try starting the s-off process. Thats what I didn't do and kept getting an error. Team Unlimited also has a support channel.

A 32 bit or i386 Os will work on a x64 system. However you can install x64 Ubuntu and just install all the dependencies required using the i386 flag on apt-get
