The Poll Is On- Which Mac OS X Distribution Would You Choose?

[thefinalprophecy]

My answer is None.

 

..

 

Why is to much effort in creating a distribution, maybe is better to perfect a EFI emulator, just like Psytar did it and that way we only have to buy the MacOS.

What??

Dude, that was invented and perfected by NETKAS. Go to netkas.org and see for yourself. Psystar have used it and not credited him.

Retail DVD install + dsmos.kext

Leo4Allv3:

 

because I beta'd v2 and v3 is even better! also my boot time went from 4 minutes with kally's to 30~35 seconds!!!

[Nadav_Peretz]

I have choosed 2 since I know both are working well. (Leo4Allv3 and iATKOS)

currently running iATKOS 2.0i with ToH's 9.2.0 Kernel.

[pbnj]

i didnt even know about all these other variations, but i nstalled iATKOS 2.0 and it works like a charm

Zephyroth 10.5.2 Rev.2

[WinLinMac01]

I would rather expect Leo4All to be first. Kalway to me doesn't maintain a retail look (during the installation). =p

[i*C]

Kalyway for me... i have not tried leo4all v3 yet, but as far as right now if to choose i would stick with kaly

[Aries326]

I used Kalyway 10.5.2 and now I've upgraded to 10.5.3 What a change! More stable and now I have restart and shutdown!!! Thanks to Bronya and displayconfigx, I've got my SG33G5 and 1950gt Pro running with my 42" LCD at 1360x768 with full QE and CI!!! So far, everything works!!! Next step is to test my new firewire card with transferring videos from my camcorder.

[OmegaAvenger]

I run Leo4allv2 w/ the kalyway 10.5.3 patch on my hackintosh at work. Leo4allv3 hated it. Leo4allv3 with the kalyway 10.5.3 patch on my toshiba.

I like iAtkos. Small, reliable, full-featured. Haven't really bothered with anything else because it works.

[Burbruee]

Zephyroth 10.5.2 rev.2 because it "just worked" for me. No problems with it what so ever for my AMD box.

I've tried Leo4All v2 once but it didn't even get me to the installation. don't remember where it stopped..

 

But before I upgraded to Leopard I was a big fan of Uphuck and JaS, both of which worked on my machine.

[awesomo]

I think it's just all about compatibility so doesn't really matter

[rollerdead]

im choosing leo4all cause its the first distro i try n success install on my amd machine

[Anubis111]

I vote for Kalyway. Leo4All (all versions) made me some booting problems. Both - during setup, and after setup.

Nice to mention Jas - i do not use this distro, but i do use its last combo update (10.5.3) incl. new modbin kernel (9.3) .

[Snerler]

I like Leo4all because the AMD support was much better for me than Kalyway. And i could not get Zephyroth 10.5.2 Rev.2 to boot after installing.

[Stravaganza]

Native way (Retail Install with Patches) for me. I gotta know what patch is applied where for what.

[OcciJano]

I've voted for JaS, cos' it worked fine with the 3 Hackintosh I've made. TubGirl is fantastic too, but, it is just for Tiger.

 

As MacGirl has said, The best installs came from retail DVDs. I don't have an Apple Intel, but, if you have a Tiger or Leopard install working, you can have a new Tiger or Leopard install with the minimun of patched things with your new install.

[hughson]

I originally voted for Kalyway then voted again for leo4all after being only install to work on my AMD(sb400 ati200xpress chipset)but my final vote will probable be for retail with efi-x usb dongle!

[WinLinMac01]

Leo4Allv4 (well still in beta) lol. =)

[mrlonely78]

my vote goes to Leo4allv3.

 

Running fine. Now downloading the kalyway combo update 10.5.3 and will try to update my leo4allv3 using it.

 

Thanks.

[macmanpapi]

kal seems faster was on iakons i think

[hellknight]

My system works with Kalyway, I only install NVinstaller V31 after installation is complete. Tried installing V41 after installation, it doesn't works and the system refuses to boot!
