The OS X product is tied to a special build of Darwin created by Apple. Apple does not include any drivers other than those necessary for Apple hardware. Getting OS X to work on anything other than a Mac is extremely difficult, and potentially illegal depending on how a court case currently in progress turns out. > on his desktop with an install disc or buying a mac? because i've never seen > mac OS on any hardware other than mac's. even if he switches, he still won't > get his hardware working... and he'll just pay a whole bunch. > > and hey... can you actually buy a mac osX install disc like you can Xp or > vista? You can buy an installation disk of OS X, however, this is intended to allow you to upgrade from older versions or to perform a clean install in the event you do something dumb like `sudo rm -rf /` > i really want to help solve his problem... If he doesn't have Apple hardware, Linux is his only solution other than Windows - unless he wasn't to try a BSD, which isn't all that bad an idea. -- Registered Linux Addict #431495 http://profile.xfire.com/mrstalinman | John 3:16! http://www.fsdev.net/ | http://www.fsdev.net/~cmiller --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Linux Users Group.
