Just installed Hackintosh PC

I was curious what is Mac OS, and was excited to know there’s distros for AMD. I had old JAS 10.4.8 distro and tried to install it, but the first attempt failed - there was no drivers for my video card - ATI Radeon HD 3650. Then i’ve tried to install iDeneb 10.5.2 but it never started to boot…
One day i had some spare time and decided to try old JAS once again. I’ve selected ATI Radeon Mobility x600 drivers, and it worked!
now i have installed hackintosh. Still no ethernet (read - internet), no sound. But overall the system is pretty stable on my athlon 5600+
Being a linux user for a long time, the first thing i’ve started to search is terminal. Mac terminal have a detailed tutorial on commands (as long as it’s BSD, many of the linux commands will work too). Except terminal, all other apps i’ve found was simply boring. Yes, smooth, better than Beryl effects, but there’s no way to customize a things in a way we can do it on linux ![]()
Lately i was up to buy Mac, but now i’ve realised my linux is more interesting.
