is it possible to install a mac os on a pc using xp pro. i am talking about a new install not a dual boot situation wiping out windows altogether. it would be cheaper to buy a mac os than a new mac. i dual boot the pc with linux(rh8.0) so i am not entirely new to unix. if i can have the reliability of unix and the ease of a mac os it would be ideal. my 2 sons run mac(g4) and rave about the os. i would wipe out linux too and dedicate the pc to a mac os. i possible, which mac os would you recommend for installation. thanks for your responses.
