Add this to my Alienware reputation.

I was first to:
- Get WPA working on Sentia under windows (pre SP2)
- Get WPA working on Sentia under Linux via ndiswrapper
- Get WPA working on Sentia under Linux via ipw2100 native Linux Driver

And I am now running OSX 10.4 on my Sentia WHAT!!!

Next thing is getting tripple boot linux/windows/osx with possibly multiple linux distros and a copy of vista thrown in the mix hahaha

OSX is the operating system used on Macs... due to the switch from PPC to INtel processors, you can now use the new Mac OSX on x86 processors. Anyways, I used System Commander to dual boot...

OSX is UNIX-based, which is also what Linux is based off of.

As for your achievement, I actually just read a news article describing the exploits of enabling OSX on an x86 chip, and I find it remarkable, even if the initial stage so far requires an illegal download. Keep us updated if you don't mind.

To be even more specific, it runs off Darwin, which is based on BSD, which is a derivative of Unix. Phew...

The problem is, Mac OSX requires its own hard drive if you want it to run natively, not just its own partition. But yes, if your laptop happens to have two hard drives, you're in luck... unfortunately, that's not usually the case. If you do have two, just setup VMWare to use a physical drive as the installation point, not a virtual PC. Then, use System Commander (That's what I used, requires no tweaking) and just boot up to that drive.

Thx guys. Archalien, next time get your facts straight. FYI I work at a computer company and I also do a little tech support on the side as well. I have also taken some courses in graphic design and computer maintenance. I also work with both Macs and PCs so I know what I'm talking about.

Next time, when you have to correct or add something to someone's posts please do so in a constructive way, things will work better and friendlier that way.

And yes, I have some garbage I would like to pass off to make u look stupid. The trick you´re using there to run Mac OSX on a x86 system has been available on the net for some time now. You just rushed to post "your discovery" here.

When you are able to find the "tripple boot linux/windows/osx with possibly multiple linux distros and a copy of vista thrown in the mix" trick that someone else may have posted on the net please come over here and post it so that we know how to do it as well.

Sorry we do not know everything your 3l33t h4xorness....

You can find it here:

If you want to make a dual boot:

And here´s how to install OSX Tiger on Intel Machines (USB Drives) Using Only Windows Software:

As I mentioned before, this info has been available for some time now. Enjoy.

For the noobs:

OSX is neither UNIX nor BSD based, it core component is called MACH, which can be considered a member of the UNIX or BSD family, but a real Mac geek(which I am not) will surely bite your head off to point out it is not a child of either but maybe more like a brother. So moidock I dont care what B.S. resume u wanna post, u still dont know what your talking about.

In fact moidock further shows his lack of leet, while OSX-x86 was hacked a while ago it was only implementable via VMware(and oh so slow), I on the other hand have it natively installed, an exploit that has only been publically known for a few days!!

Yes for all my worshippers(j.k.) I have succefully setup a Quint-boot system consisting of a single hdd partitioned as: WinXP Pro, Vista, OSX, Fedora, and Gentoo.
This took me all weekend to get a successful method working, but it is now, never could get grub to boot OSX from partition, so I switched to System Commander which worked like a charm, that is after fixing the kinks in getting the OSX image to install on a partition without installing the MBR that is part of the image. Updaet: grub is now working???

Another point of moidocks lack of leetness, although the guy from 360hacker is credited with the install, the image he and everyone else is using actually came from this site:
http://www.concretesurf.co.nz/osx86/index.php
for those who want to try it out.
