I use the iPC distro and although I'm in eula violation on my netbook I did buy a 10.5 family pack license to cover my netbook and 2 Mac desktops . I'm very happy with my "cheap garbage" netbook too. Performance, design and fit/finish is very impressive for a $230 unit ($285 with the osx compatible wifi card replacement and 1/5 the osx family pack cost). Somewhere in that $230 there was the cost of a winxp license too, probably should've contacted the manufacturer and tried to get a refund for the windows license since I don't use it and don't agree to it (linux folks have gotten refunds before) LOL

violates Apple's license agreement. Google "kalyway" for more info.
