It's fairly simple to get Leopard running on generic hardware, but each new update from apple can potentially kill everything.

I have a Macbook Pro (pre-unibody, so much better ;) ), and the build quality is great. All other laptops feel tacky and slow compared to it.

I'm trying to run iDeneb v1.3 (Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.5).... getting stuck at book after trying to establish a hostname... DNSresponce[36] bla bla...

Anywho I like to play around and most of the time after I get it working I get rid of it :)

I've read it should match my hardware so still have a bit of playing around to do.

Looks like I was quite wrong, a bunch of updates (only speed/size bumps) to pretty much the whole macbook pro range at WWDC today. Nothing of any real merit, but more is better.

Yup Im buying a mac mini soon. However since I like tinkering I've got a quad boot (vista, ubuntu, windows 7 RC, osx) on my HP  dv9600 for now.

In the last few days I have ideneb 1.4 (10.5.6) working. Check out insanelymac.com for ideas. Everything pretty much worked for me out of the box.

The only things not working are wifi (thats never really going to work on the intel cards) and hibernation.

I think thats as far as I'll go. Windows 7 RC1 is brilliant on this laptop.

I've managed to get it all working apart from sound and wifi. There is a patch for the sound I think buried in the forums.

What do you use as your boot manager? I've got linux on my machine so grub is looking after that for now as osx is only on my usb drive. But would like to run it off the laptop also.
