Toshiro ShimuraI finally got the time to update my article on how to install OSX 10.5.5 on your eee 1000h. The procedure is pretty much the same but I tried to add the cool stuff that has been discovered lately, mainly over at ipis-osx. I tried to keep this guide more basic than the one before, so no iDeneb, iPC or Kalyway specific installation instructions, you’ll have to enable your brain at a certain moment ;-) If you would like to install with the original OSX DVD see the excellent tutorial by Gregory Cohen. Thanks go to Greg, slither2007, pentiumpc, Thireus,strongesthylian, comatron and all the other fine people at ipis-osx. Update: I re-tested the guide on iDeneb 1.4 and had to change the install order:

Who needs Psystar?
Apple says it's had "pretty interesting ideas" for a Mac netbook, but it's everyday users who've already taken action. Due to their similar technical underpinnings, most of the popular netbooks can run OS X, but there are plenty of caveats: non-functioning components which lack drivers and need to be replaced—or which simply can't be gotten to at all.
The short answer: get an MSI Wind, Lenovo S10, Dell Mini 9 or HP Mini 1000. (Gizmodo has an excellent how-to for the Mini 9)
(Updated: Feb 1) More columns! Lenovo's S10 bumped to recommended machines: prettier than the Wind and has a 10" display, so unless you need Ethernet, consider it.
* Aspire One WiFi only available by replacing adapter
* Frequent kernel panics reported during Samsung NC10 installs.
* Dell Mini 9 requires SSD replacement for sleep.
* Fan control and ExpressCard34 work on Lenovo S10.Note: Green doesn't mean it's easy to set up, or that you won't need third-party software. It just means you can get it working. How-to guides for each netbook are linked to from the chart.
Post updates and corrections to the comments (or to me at rob at boing boing).
Hacking OSX into a netbook isn't easy, and may require familiarity with the terminal. You'll have to grab a hacked version of OSX from the tubes, in contravention of Apple's EULA. You should own a legal copy, too. Piracy isn't nice.
