So my computer is pissing me off, it hangs on shut down, the sleep function dicked up one of my external HDD's, sometimes shit just stops working like the sound when I am watching Youtube, then it's gone till I restart, and it hangs on restart, gotta hard reset, fuck.
So I was thinking, I am not gaming much right now, not till BF3 comes out, so I don't really need Windows for anything, maybe Outlook to check my work email, but hey surprise surprise it runs on all three w0ot. So I am considering a Hackintosh. I have been running OSX in VMWare for a while and it appears to work fine, there's more to the set-up when actually installing it, but there's some good tutorials on the internet, with links to everything you need, and if it fails, hell, can always reformat right? I was also thinking about Ubuntu 11.04, I have it on my laptop, works pretty good.
I do require the ability to stream HD movies from this computer in my office, over my wireless to my laptop in the living room, and I would like to be able to access any computer in the network without a bunch of drama.
So, what are some thoughts? Hack it up? Penguins? Or tried and true?
