Wink acknowledged, but... OS X "Community Edition" <wink> has identified exactly what works, and what doesn't. An open edition from Apple could clearly state that the hardware must be in the list of validated equipment. Otherwise, they community must create additional drivers (kexts), as they are currently doing. > > Thankfully Linux is more than up to the task, with as many options available for how you like your OS as there are to fit your specific hardware preferences. The missing task on Linux, for me at least, is Netflix. iGotta have it! :-) > Speaking of hardware, I have great respect for Intel but their list price for their NUC is way too high - NewEgg sell's em for less, and they also have a wide range of other case and CPU combos on their mini-barebones category: > > < http://www.newegg.com/Mini-Booksize-Barebone-Systems/SubCategory/ID-309?Order=PRICE > > Sadly, most of the alternative mini hardware options wouldn't make the cut on the compatibility list. Apple's use of Intel i3, i5, i7 cpu's is really a major part of the modern hackintosh.
