The issue you will have is that unless you go the hackintosh route, you can not run OSX on now apple hardware. Now I am not saying you can't but you will have to read up on it to decide. Now the rest to the rest of your question. If I am reading it right you want to tripple boot between Linux,OSX and Windows and this machine will manage your 8TB SAN/NAS (Or whatever) so that the other machines can have access to it? Correct? The only OS that will be running is the one you are currently logged into. So if you want linux to control the 8TB then it needs to be up and running and not Windows.Of course I could be reading this entirely wrong and for that I will apoligize in advanced.

there are many ways of doing that, you can use vmware to run other OSes inside of say win7.
you can install all OSes on different partition of the same drive and use a program lie easyboot to boot to which ever, or you can install each OS on a different drive. thats if I didn't misunderstand what you are asking. as for if DS can do it, you gonna want to contact them directly. |
