I have a successful installation since the time of its release (iAtkos V7). This is the most stable distro I have tried. Works out of the box. You can check my sig for my rig. It's a 12" notebook, I mean the crappiest ever on China market.

It runs stable and I have updated to 10.5.8 thru Apple Software Update, it was painless. Been up and running for more than 6 months already, installed lots of apple software, and it's running quite well.

Have done my dsdt patch already so I have removed some of the unnecessary kext. Sleep works well, got QE/CI. Upgraded the RAM, replaced the intel WLan to Broadcom 4311 to be more "airport compatible"(lots of these in my place at less than 10USD each), then next would be an SSD drive and a processor upgrade. Feels like "Mac", runs like "Mac".

iAtkos V7, awesome distro for Leopard.

Thumbs up to the team who made it possible.

Smooth install once i got the correct drivers via the config. updated to 10.5.8...ty

core2duo @ 3.2
8 gigs ram
750 ESata drive
C2 - detected my raid and other partitions (win7)
video 8800gts
no sound yet.. but will figure this out soon.

This is my first go at a Mac so please bare with me. Wanted to see how a mac works before i decide on buying one.

Downloaded the iATKOS v7 and burnt to a DVD. Created a new virtual machine with 1 gb ram, 80 hard drive space and ran the install. after the install the screen was stuck at the gray screen with the apple.
Did a reset on the virtual machine and went to boot single user. then it got stuck at some point (screen snap attached). Following is my computer setup:

Processor: AMD Phenom II X4 955
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-MA790FXT-UD5P
Total RAM: 4 GB
Video Card: ATI Radeon HD5750 1GB

Any advice is very much appreciated

Just a quick note to mention this, as I've found surprisingly few references to my laptop when searching around. Anyhow, installed this distro pretty much on all default settings, plus a couple of drivers. A stark contrast to the latest Hazard and CCLloyd releases which I've tried in the past few days.

So far, I have to say, iATKOS seems the most mature distro to me. I've now tried installing just about every OSx86 release on two desktops (both self-built, i7 and AMD Phenom) and I remember getting close to success only with iATKOS on those as well. This time, it was just night and day:

Created an 8Gb partition (just to try, didn't even expect it to work, will make larger in the future of course)

Picked a couple of drivers that seemed to make sense to me (Voodoo EFI graphics, PS/2 with touchpad, broadcom wifi, realtek audio) and let it rip. It was getting close to finishing when the screen went black and the machine rebooted.

Well, I thought something went wrong, so I erased the partition and tried again with all default and no drivers. Same thing happened, except this time I actually ejected the DVD and booted from my new Mac partition, and saw the welcome messages fly. Alas, since I didn't choose any drivers at install, I had no keyboard

Rebooted, installed JUST the drivers this time and voila - EVERYTHING seems to be running just fine, it picked up my wifi right away, sound was playing and my touchpad is recognized. I haven't tested the webcam or card reader, but I never really use them on my PC anyway, am sure something could be done about them as well if necessary.

Now, I'd really only like to know how to update it to Snow. Anybody with a quick and easy answer?

My only problem is it can't boot with my onboard Intel Graphics.
But i have an NVIDIA 7100GS. And i have to say this is the best distro ever!

Many guys told me that this is my best shot for having Mac on PC - I've never used Mac but i developed Windows Mobile apps and now would like to do IPhone programming.

I cannot afford a Mac so want to try out hackintosh - I've bought an external harddrive of 300 GB to have Mac installed on it. Possible right? So that I effect my current PC windows xp in no way.

I have Pentinum 4 (R) ThinkCentre 8113D5U 3 GB Ram and around 500 GB HD in PC now. Will that support? is it possible to install hackintosh on this PC?

If it is possible, then anyone who've tried this in easy language how to do this? as am a programmer, web developer but I suck at installing such hardware challenging programs.

Can anyone help please?

Thanks.
