OSX on Advent QC6003

[thorny23]

Hi all,

 

I have been following the OSx86 scene for a while now and have always wnated to jump on the wagon; so to speak.

 

I have now just been give an Advent QC6003 Desktop PC and really want to try put OSx86 on it instead of the hugely unreliable Windows. Not only that but I like to tinker with things and get to know different platforms.

 

I am aware of iAtkos, iDeneb and iPC and of course Kalway, I was wondering which of these distributions would be best for my Desktop Specifications as I cannot find a definitive answer. I am a bit weary of choosing Kernels etc and wouldn't want to get this wrong, alongside choosing the "extras" such as ethernet options etc upon install so any further guidance on this would be brilliant.

 

I can assure you I have taken a look on the forums for any other possible help but I would really appreciate it if someone could spare some guidance

 

I have included my full computer summary below;
