Mac Osx On A Pc

[Guest Prosis]

As some of you know and others will learn, it is possible to install Mac OSX on a PC.

 

So, has anyone here ever done it or is anyone currently running it. If so, how is it? ;)

[Audio of Being]

I have not yet tried, but I am in favor of the idea, as long as it does not use a ton of my RAM

[julianzz]

Do what I did.

Go out and buy a mac.

You won't be disappointed, I don't think i'll ever be able to go back to a pc.

Or build a PC, run XP Pro, and retain your nearly unlimited upgrade path and vast, sprawling plain of available software.

No directx10=fail.

[garsk]

well, at least you have the option of upgrading to directx10 to play better games on XP.

[hum-an-ole]

If I owned a pc, I would definitely try this. I've read a bit about it. It seems to be a fairly easy to set up and if you have it on a good machine, apparently it runs well. I would go for dual booting. I haven't watched many of them, but it appears that there are some decent videos about this one youtube.

There is the option of putting Linux with a Leopard theme (they're pretty impressive)

[garsk]

I have the latest version of Kubuntu (7.10) if you want it.

[Guest Prosis]

Nah thanks, I've got them....but I'm more of a gnome man myself ;)

[Crusader]

whatever happened to fedora

[garsk]

you gotta go with KDE

[Guest Prosis]

Nah I don't like the Windows-like KDE thing. Plus it's too flashy ;)

 

Gnome reminds me of Mac OS and I like that :angry:

 

Anton: Fedora is now Fedora 8 and it still sucks (as a desktop I mean) :angry:

[Crusader]

i ran fedora on a server for awhile. centos

[garsk]

with KDE you get amarok which is the best music player.

[Guest Prosis]

But you can still install it on Gnome dude ;)

I'm not sure what all the fuss is about loading OSX onto a PC. There isn't any driver support, and there isn't going to be. So it seems pretty risky. You might end up running on only generics. If you want a mac, then it might be best to buy one... besides, you can duel boot windows on it, so you can still play games.

[Guest Prosis]

Yeah I know that rocks

 

Actually, on a mac, you can triple boot with Windows, Mac OS and Linux

 

The best of the geek world! ;)

[garsk]

and have the coolest basement room in your parents house ever!

Can you boot more than one Linux flavor?

[Guest Prosis]

Never tried it but I'm pretty sure you can
