Yes, I can't imagine Apple ever releasing a version of OS X that isn't
specifically designed for their hardware. They make a lot of money
selling Apple hardware, and it is so much easier for them to provide
support for OS X when they know exactly what hardware it will be
running on.
Nevertheless, it is pretty straight forward to get OS X working on any
other Intel based desktop, laptop or netbook.

Tiffany,
I would expect that Leopard would run with not to many problems on
1gb
of ram. If it is disk space that you are talking about a standard
install of Leopard takes up about 10gb. Some netbooks do have a
standard hdd. I used the Asus eee pc 900ha for a while which had a
160gb hdd, 1gb ram and an Intel Atom 1.20ghz processor.

Opa! I must know more! I was looking at Asus EEE Pcs cause they
sounded wonderful but I thought Leopard requires alot of memory etc.
Maybe, I have to run my external drive? If this is getting offtopic
or isn't allowed, just e-mail me offlist. If not, I'm sure there
are
lots of people who are interested in it.
Thanks,

Hello you guys,
I was listening to mac break weekly the other day. They said the
following. You can now create your own net book using your
original
leopard disk. You can get a list of machines that this works with
from engadget. You still have to do some funky things like create
some kind of disk for tricking the os into loading and going to a
web
site to download the correct drivers. They equated it to a cross
between installing os-x and windows. This sounds really exciting.
oh
you can do the automagic updates also.

Hi Kevin
Netbooks are based on the Intel Atom processor, at least the ones
most people think of when the word netbook is mentioned. They are
standard x86. I know, for a fact, that versions for the Asus eee
pc
and the MSI Wind exist, and the MSI wind version works on the
Samsung NC10 as well with some slight modifications. This is
already
possible, though again the legality is in question and will be
until
the question of Apple's eula is settled.

I'm currently downloading a torrent that is OS 10, but imaged

flash drive, bootable on an Intel or AMD based PC. I'm sure that

this will be available for the cell processors found in netbooks.
I'm not
saying this is legal, just that it's available for tinkering.
I'll
let you
all know my findings.
The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a
thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that
cannot
possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible
to get at or repair.
