Install Mac OS X onto your Dell

..or HP, Compaq, Sony, etc.

I will be doing a session explaining how this task can be accomplished.  I’ll explain hardware selection, software patching, and installation procedures.  If time permits I will also outline some possible issues you might face after installation (device recognition, etc).

If you’ve been considering a Mac but can’t budget one right now, or perhaps you want to keep using your Dell but can’t stand Vista; this is a great way to test out the Mac OS on hardware you already own or can get cheaper.

NOTE: I do not condone piracy, and my procedures are based off the assumption that you have a legally purchased copy of OS X.  There are other “pre-patched” distributions of OS X floating around the web and although I acknowledge they exist I prefer to do my own patching so I can be sure of what is going on.
