OS Hacks: Installing Mac OSx 10.6.1 on Toshiba Satellite A300

Posted on 19. Sep, 2009 by in Operating Systems

Unfortunately not all Toshiba A300 models are supported by Mac. The only thing that you will not find is the kext for the graphic card (in case it’s integrated Intel chipset). If your card is nvidia, you have more chances of finding a kext for your video card. I suggest you visit hackint0sh.com for more details and support. For my Toshiba Satellite A300-02W I was unable to find any driver for the video card (Intel gm4500).

However, I gave Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty a try on my Toshiba laptop. Suprisingly it works like a charm, and believe me or not it looks way too better than a MacBook Pro. If you miss the dock from the OSx, just search for Cairo-Dock on Ubuntu. Cairo-Dock is much better and more customizable than the inbuilt Mac dock. Also, there are few chances that Ubuntu will fail to install on your laptop, as it supports a wide range of hardware devices.

Why most people think Mac is better than any other OS? The answer is obvious – marketing. Here’s a proof of that:

    What are you stupid…..maybe you are a PC kinda of guy…..”The answer is obvious – marketing.” B.S. observation guy….MAC, THER IS NOTHING LIKE IT, GENERATION AFTER GENERATION….. After getting into the PC world for a few months I am convinced that everyone using has been scammed by Microsoft. Just use a mac to do something other than checking your email….HAAAAAAAA, I.B.M. really stands for “I” wanna “B”e a “M”AC! and please stop spreading around the rhumers that PC has anything to offer the consumer….

    I think you misunderstood the message of this post. And by the way, I am not a “PC guy”. I use Ubuntu Linux to do everything I have to do.

    DICI SOLO CAZZATE. PROVA AD INSTALLARE UNA PERIFERICA TIPO UNA CHIAVETTA PER INTERNET SU UBUNTU E PROVA A FARLO SU MAC. OPPURE PROVA AD INSTALLARE UN SOFTWARE OPPURE UNA PERIFERICA SU UBUNTU E POI PROVA SU MAC OPPURE TROVA DEI SOFTWARE PROFESSIONALI TIPO DI GRAFICA O DI MONTAGGIO PER UBUNTU E VEDI SE SONO GLI STESSI DEL MAC.

    What's the problem is some people think MAC is better?
    You stick to what you like. You can just let other people be as they like.

    I like Mac on PC than other things on PC. I like the graphics, the way they organize the OS, and the way the OS responds – quick & efficient.
    The only problem is the Kernel Panic that happens once a while when playing some big game or using big app like dreamweaver.

    I don't like Linux mostly because of apps. There are many desktop themes; but I never liked any of them as much as the one on OSX. I felt like those themes were quite buggy and slow although it might have looked attractive in some prospect.

    If I had money, I would definitely buy MAC while still keeping PC just in case.
