I have been snooping around for a few weeks and wanted to give this a shot because I have a macbook pro that was put out of commision last year by a cat and a well placed soft drink. I was out of a job for about 6 months so I could not afford to buy another mac and I just started my new job and I am actually going to be administering on a mac. And thanks to everybody here I succesfully installed osx on my old thinkcentre and my EEE pc 701. Now there were quite a few hick-ups along the way One I couldnt figure out why the IBM would crash about halfway through the boot messed with that for 5 hours and 3 monster energy drinks (it was my nvidia 9600 GSO). So I have it up and running now and wanna give everyone a giant thanks for helping me out!

 

Working-

Onboard Intel 900 graphics

sony dvd burner

Netgear FA120 wired dongle

 

Not Working-

PCI-e Nvidia 9600 GSO

DLINK WUA-2340 Wireless dongle

SB Audigy ZS

Onboard Sound (dont care about this if I get the audigy working)

onboard Broadcom NIC

 

 

So thanks to all the posts here I was at least able to get it up and running on the net and can now play around with the EEE and see what I can do with that (its up and running but I was hoping the wireless dongle would work so I dont have to get the dell 1390)
