From personal experience, I highly highly recommend hackintoshing a standard laptop and not a netbook. The netbook screen size is just too small to do anything productive in it. Just try imagine coding in a window a quarter the size of the laptop you're looking at right now. Fun, huh?

Hackintoshing a netbook is really just for fun and novelty.

I do this on an OLPC and a "normal" MSI Wind netbook.

It's not bad, if you have a large crisp font.

Also good for work travel when all you want to do is show a couple of presentations & take some notes, but don't want to lug around a couple of thousand euro MBP with you. :)
