NenerX3 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Want to build a rack-mount Dual Xeon Hackintosh using the Psystar EFI. Any recommendations on a mobo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUSHOR Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 doesnt snow leopard support most boards natively? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h3%5kr3w Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 lol. no NUSHOR no it does not... not unless you count OSX86. Give a good google for that, it'll put you in the right direction :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonlit Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Chameleon (official site) does the same job and it's free. You may have to put a little more work into finding the correct kexts yourself, but if Psystar goes under, so does the online hardware check/driver collecting service.

dr0p Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Just curious, why are you going through all of the trouble of building a hackintosh for a server? I can't think of any advantages OSX has in the server environment over linux or BSD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't think of any advantages OSX has in the server environment over linux or BSD. OS X Server's advantage is that everything is simplified into wizards and step-by-step installers rather than endless config files etc etc etc Like setting up LDAP, a pain to many people on linux/bsd but on OS X server is stupidly simple, granted you do loose some of the customisability.

I guess... just doesn't seem to level out how much system resources you could save by not using OSX in my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKo Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I don't really see the point since you won't be supported by Apple, and a server in a production environment isn't worth zip without support. Plus, I hear many bad things about Apples server OS, mainly that they are not really geared up to take on MS, Novel, RedHat or Sun when it comes to the abilities of the OS.

Tarbizkit Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 having setup many osx servers on my company network which happens to mostly be a hybrid of novell (450+servers), microsoft (650+ servers), and about 50 or so linux flavor servers, I can say with out a doubt that setting up and configuring an osx server is a really easy thing. as far as stability goes there have been no real problems, at least no more than any other os. When it comes to performance, i have no complaints either. the os has never been a bottleneck for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wh1t3 and n3rdy Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 That maybe so but if you have issues you can rely on official support. As far as the enterprise environment goes, a hacintoshs tyle OSX server is a terrible idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
