Leopard On The ASUS Eee PC

[HardOCP News]

The crew at UNEASYsilence are showing off an ASUS Eee PC running OS X 10.5 Leopard. Although it is slow, it is still running it which is a testament to the diminutive PCs all around flexibility. Hit the link for complete instructions.

So, ever since I got the eeePC I’ve loved how easy it is to tinker with. Since I’m not a Linux guy, I dumped the Xandros preload and opted for Windows XP so I could you my EVDO USB datacard and blogging software easier, but I wondered could I install OSX on it? And, after trial and error - you can!

For a second there, I thought they were shipping it with Leopard.

How can we comment on this if we're not allowed to discuss illegal activities?

I think this is the second thread created by a [H] mod about what was once considered an illegal discussion on these forums. I guess now it is fair game.

I have OSX 10.4.6 dual booting with XP on my MSI S270 (AMD Turion) laptop, and it does pretty well. It is smooth, but I just can't get the WiFi drivers to work, and I really don't care enough to try writing/modifying some.

If anyone wants a good tutorial on how to do it, just look on InsanelyMac forums. It only took me about 2 hours to get it up and running smooth.
