    I have been running Mac OS X Leopard on my Shuttle SD30G2 PC for over a month. The Mac OS X installation was done using the Leopard Kalyway 10.5.2 installer. It was updated to 10.5.3 using Kalyway 10.5.3 Combo Update. Today, the Shuttle has been updated to Mac OS X 10.5.4 using Mac OS X Software Update.
