It should work fine on that based on what I know about mac. Let us know how that works out.

Since I have the most experience running hackintoshes, yes. It WILL work fine. But, the thing you might mess up on is the install. Read the instructions carefully and don't misread anything, as it could ruin your system and probably the entire hdd.

Also, it might depend on which type of hackintosh you use/run.

Hey y02boy, nice posts and advice by the way. Karma UP lol

Congratz! Welcome to my world

how long have u been doing it for?

^^

Uhh.. for about roughly 1 and a half years. / When the "I'm a PC and I'm a Mac" commercials really became popular.

half a year more than me

just wanted to give you all an update.

i have try 3 different distro of the mac(hacked verisons)

idenb lite
ipc
leo4all

there all have probs, none of them work on the hardware i have tryed!

there are several more distro to try and i am going to try all of them i let you know what works.

if i had a video cam i would make a video, but kindy of broke right now!

Oh yeah, I'm a bit out of the loop with it, I didn't even know there was distros of it... haha

I rekon that your PC would have to have the same chips in it as a Mac for everything to work...
Since the OS does not need to cover all types of hardware it would be much more limited ..

yea thats probally true, but i hate intel, if thats the case i think ille forget!

thanks anyway

eaisest way to get used to it is find an acer veriton 5500 it works really well with os x and should cost like less than $100 or so

My friend has an eeePC 1005HA and is running Mac OSX leopard perfectly. He used iDeneb.
Then again, it uses the Intel Atom, and you hate intel. Sorry.

Hey, guess what I'm on right now?

Working good.

hehehe cool thats good, nice screenshot

ahh, does it have any sort of positive effect on your computer?

My friend keeps telling me to make a hacintosh, but i dont want to risk my only computer.
Therefore, i am waiting to buy parts to build my own computer.

when you install it just hit f8 at boot for booting options then type

rd=disk0s1 -x -f -v

the rd=disk0s1 will tell it were you Hdd if not it will get stuck on "waiting on root device"
-x for safe mode
-f to not get ride of the current boot loader
-v for verbose mode(if not you will get a apple screen with a spinning thing)

try leo4all on the thepiratebay.org/torrent/4075438/Leo4All-10.5.2_Universal_AMD_INTEL%5BSSE2_SSE3%5D

and i meant to put, if you are using a 64bit cpu then you need to type

-legacy

if not half way in the install it will reboot!

also if you are getting errors type

on error resume next

so you should have

rd=disk0s1 -legacy -x -f -v on error resume next

Good news you can now run os x in virtualbox on windows i haven't tried linux yet though

"osx is the only unix based system thats not free" ??? I guess you have never heard of AIX?

Here is the problem with open source in general.

If you have product A and product B that do the same thing, and perform the same way.. but product A cost $$ and product B is free... now why would someone buy something they can get for free..... right, no one would.

So here is the hypothesis, if there are free alternatives to a product, the commercial version HAS to be better in some way, or it would not survive in a economic market.

Now don't get me wrong, I am not suggesting that any one OS is better than any other. All that I am saying is that there is some intrinsic value to a product for it to have to survive in a market where there are free options available.

I would love is OSX worked on all hardware, but lets just for a second think why perhaps they took this route..

Yes, i can see that keeping it on THEIR hardware makes sense business wise. as I'm sure thats where they make their money, but another distinct and factual possibility is that it is a lot easier to make a system perform better when you only have to cater to a known set of parameters, in this case being hardware.

For example. Game developers that target consoles have a much easier time, and generally make a more enjoyable product as appose to Game developers that target PC's. For the simple fact they they have the means to test the product on the only hardware it will(should) be run on.

And my last point, apple is actually one of the largest single contributors to the open source community. Starting and funding projects that are not apple/osx centric for the cause of developers and computer users on all platforms.

ps: If you really cared about open source you would release all your source in a BSD license, anyone who has read GPL, and understands the implications, knows its a joke.
