The poor man’s mac
It seems that Mac Os X Snow Leopard can easily be installed in vmplayer.
There’s an article here which explains how to do this.
You do however need a cpu that supports virtualization. For some reason the article says that this won’t work on AMD Cpu’s. I don’t really understand why since most AMD cpu’s support virtualization. There are however some limitations:
- No vmware tools
- No sound
- No hardware graphics acceleration
The ethernet connection seems to work. This machine is very useful for people who want to learn more about this OS and see how it responds when integrated into an existing network.
Speaking of which, it is really easy to integrate a Mac into an Active Directory. In fact I wish it were just as easy to integrate a Ubuntu machine into a network. This article explains how you should do it.
