UPDATE ON MY PREVIOUS POSTS:
I must report success on LAN adapter, (thanks to Raditude), I downloaded the AttansicL1c driver from http://code.google.com/p/iats/ and works fine. I update my system regularly from the Apple site, ALWAYS skipping system updates (preventing overwrite of drivers) but allowing the rest (new versions of iTunes, Safari, ecc are ok). Starting this summer I installed several pieces of free/shareware programs sometimes getting weird errors. For example, opening JPG images doesn't work (Preview utility). I found another way to see the files (right-click then choose Quick Preview or something similar, my menus are in italian). SOFTWARE ISSUES I didn't install many software yet, but noted some install problems: - Google Chrome installs and works fine, but when I tried to add the 3D Earth plug-in the installer locks at some point - Audacity (audio editing software) comes in a .DMG package, and works fine from that location, but when I try to move it to the Applications folder it doesn't work anymore... found a couple of tutorials that explain how to solve that but they didn't solve. - The Divx free suite installed fine but the player crashes on start. Anyway I needed the codecs and they work fine. BTW wouldn't it be great if someone collected in a database or something similar the success/failure stories about software installs on Hackintosh machines? Anyone knows about a site like this?

SOME NOTES For .NET/Mono developers (maybe this is the wrong thread):
I put it here just to show the typical usages of my x86 Mac. I brought to my Mac an application written in C# in Visual Studio (under Windows XP). I previously tested that on a Linux Ubuntu with Mono installed, so I was curious to see If it worked. The app is essentially a program for vector drawing and animation (not public for now) at a prototype stage. In order to run .NET apps I installed Monodevelop (IDE) for Mac OS (needed only if you intend to develop), then I installed Mono from www.monoproject.org and copied the sources on the machine. I opened the solution in Monodevelop, pressed F5... and voilą!. It runs! The software works, yes, but not exactly as I expected. I had to put a fix that consisted in a try/catch around a piece of code that was raising an exception (under Linux that didn't happen, but was a year ago... could be a minor change in the Mono framework) to run it. Then there seems to be a problem with MouseMove events as well as transform matrices. You should consider a couple of facts: first of all, there is a new OS version of the framework that I didn't test yet.. Second, there maybe some differences on the Mac OS platform that make the .NET implementation harder... Stay tuned, the guys at the Mono Project are really doing a great job anyway!!

Hi everybody, just curious about any issues (and solutions) after update to 10.6.7. In my case, I downloaded from the Software Updates in the Mac menu and it went rather well, except for USB devices...
