I have an old toshiba satellite pro 4200 laptop, and because i'm getting a new laptop and have a pc i want to put it on a different OS, i've been thinking about linux (don't have much RAM though) and MAC, would a mac os run on it??

I wouldn't recommend it... Mac OSX before the switch to the Intel Chipsets, were very hardware dependent with the setup that apple had made it. Although possible... it is hell trying to get all of the drivers and stuff working. And when you do install it ok, it will be very slow to the point it is unacceptable. (Dependent on specifications of computer) But it is possible.

I have both a PC and a Macbook Pro and I tried the same thing...absolute fail.

If your getting a new laptop, let that be the one you don't add stuff to it, just use that for your work. Now for your old laptop and pc, I would install a distro of either/or:

1) Fedora 10
2) Unbuntu
3) Open Solaris
4) FreeBSD

With Linus distros, you can have live CD to test out the OS before installing it on your computer(s).

I hope that helps.
