Once it is done, open Settings > System > Mother Board, and change: Part 3 – Create and Configure the Virtual HarddriveĬreate a 30 Gb fixed Virtualbox drive for Mac. Obviously, the legality of this image and running it virtually is in question, but as I said, both the iso and VM have been deleted now.

I got one created by Hazard that is AMD 64bit compatible. Luckily I have one of these, so I created the directory there, and pointed VirtualBox to use that one instead. One thing i noticed is that Virtualbox has an Ext4 bug which means that if you want to install Mac, your VirtualBox VMs directory needs to be on an NTFS partition.

This is why I did this out of curiosity, as Apple Macs are Intel-centric. I use Debian Squeeze with an AMD 64bit Quadcore CPU, Ati 1Gb GPU and 8Gb RAM.

Everything was polished and nice to look at, but as a Debian (Openbox) user, i’m impressed by speed and reliability, not pretty wallpapers and icons.

One thing I did notice while playing around with Mac, is how similar Ubuntu (Unity) is becoming to the Mac desktop. I did this out of curiosity and just for the challenge more than anything, then deleted this VM shortly afterwards.
