Ideneb?

[NSR500]

Anybody here running with ideneb on a machine? I'm getting pretty dangerous with Windows 7, and Ubuntu 9.10 already. Not too much of a Mac guy, but I've worked on a few. I'm just wondering if it is worth the PIA to run a third partition and try a triple boot with ideneb.
Anything worthwhile on Snow Leopard to actually wow me?

"Anything worthwhile on Snow Leopard to actually wow me?"
Not if you don't have the slick hardware with it. I don't think there's anything in OSX that Windows or Linux can't do better, for cheaper.

If you're supporting Macs at work, it's a different story. There, it could be helpful to allow you mess with a mac install without screwing up someone's machine (worse).

Thanks!
I was just going to do it to hone the skills, but if it's so hardware reliant, it may not be worth the headache.

I don't know about hardware reliant. I run a hackintosh media center in my house on generic hardware and it's pretty bulletproof. You don't need a screaming fast machine to run OS X well, but if you want to do a hackintosh install you need to make sure the hardware you get is compatible.

If you head over to http://www.osx86project.org/ there's a huge amount of information there about the various types of installs and a large hardware compatibility list. See if your hardware is listed there. If so, you may be able to do a vanilla install with just EFI strings to get it working, with minimal hacking.
