find out all your system specs, look around on torrent websites for a version of OS X that best suits you, i am using Leo4All v3 which has server me very well, also go into the osx86 wiki and find the part compadablity list to see which drivers you need to install on your OS X install and you should be all set

The only thing that I can tell you to do is to find a good AMD distro and try it out. If you are working with XP or Vista, you can ISO recorder to burn to DVD and then go from there. You really need to find out what your system specs are especially what chipset you use, what graphics card you have, sound card etc. Once you know that, you can boot from the Distro DVD and customize the install from it's menu. I had to try and fail several times before I got it right.

It`s quite simple with distros available atm. Just grab an iso of Zephyroth`s 10.5.2 or LawlessPPC 10.5.4 burn, and install it - it`s really simple, and installs just like windows, everything is automated, you only have to customize your installation ( just look for "Customize" button in the installer ) and choose what drivers you need. Remember that you have to prepare second partition if you`re going to use dual boot cause OSX installer can`t do it ( it can`t add one partition, only divide the whole disk ). If you`re using Zephyroth`s distro, remember to choose BootLoader ( mbr for example ) - it won`t boot without it. In Lawless distro, it`s automated. And i think that`s all for the vary beginning.
