Hello... Seems that I was acused of "warez", "pirate...", So, please if you to to the site of hackintosh, you will see that it is a Darwin, Macos is based on Darwin, and because of the copyright (the famous GPL...) apple must give away the software they use to build macos... so there is Darwin if you look at http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource it show all the Leopards including the 10.5.6 (source code)... I did not see any restriction of use, for darwin, (well may be a commercial use???) If you start with a binary version (http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/images/darwinx86-801.iso.gz) please note that it comes from the apple site... and download the last one, with some work (in reality a lot....) you will end with a Leopard (TM) without apple marks... I do not think this is ilegal, and I am not playing warez. In fact I am doing the same thing with opensolaris... get opensolaris (binary), then get the sources (from sun) and compiling the gnome 2.24 on top of it.... may be the final product be called hacklaris???? I needed it because my clients needs internet and with it a good imfamious flash player... that, in FreeBSD is not available with the stability I have on solaris... in fact, it is much more stable than the linux version besides the "virtual" (virtualbox, xen, zones....) is far more stable on solaris.... there are places (in the corporate world...) that the SUN brand counts... and counts a lot... I think also that a person jump from the "microsoft cage" to the "apple cage" he still is in the "cage"... Users, nowadays (even the "naive" ones) soon realize that they need freedom. We, with FreeBSD, gives us freedom, power, ease of use... Sergio
