Mac OS X 10.4.5 on IBM Compatible PC
10th of March, 2006
This topic came to mind suddenly after more than a few days of pondering what I should write an article about. I think it had something do with wine's inability to fluently render animations in Macromedia Flash, and my fear of Bill Gates.
There have recently been a number of articles over on digg.com, about how Macs are switching over to Intel's architecture. Most of these articles were debating whether it would be possible or not to duel boot Windows XP on Mac. To be honest with you I couldn't really care less. I mean, what kind of crazy bastard in their right mind would want to install Windows on their Mac?
Then, it came to me this afternoon during a few beers at work, what if you could have OS X running on a IBM PC? Once I got home I fired up firefox and ran a quick google on the subject. It took me a few searches to find what I wanted, however after about 5 minutes I found that this could, and actually has been done with hacked versions of OS X.
I am currently downloading the hacked ISO of OS X 10.4.5, it's around 4.3 gigs worth so it's going to take some time. It is my mission to have OS X duel booting with deblian on my AMD machine, hopefully, I will avoid running into any spiked walls along the way.
I will keep you updated with my progress.
