OSX has to be hacked to run on PC's. Google hackintosh.

isi it worth doing tho? ive heard of hackintosh, but heard as well that mac os will not run as well on any computer as it would on a mac. I think im gonna go with ubuntu, heard good things about it. now when i install the new os (regaurdless of which one i go with) will i want to uninstall windows?

Only way I would install mac osx on a PC, is if it was a desktop that I built.

If you have to ask questions like this, just use Ubuntu...
It will be easier to setup, work with more hardware, and more people will be able to help you solve issues.

Ubuntu is far from the lightest Linux distrobution, but if it's sluggish, you've done something wrong, or are using really ****ty hardware. It definitely isn't slow on any modern hardware.

Linux. If given the option, get Debian packages. Make sure they're the right architecture for your install.
Also, seeing that you don't seem to be interested in doing anything past basic use, most programs you'll need can probably be found in the Ubuntu Software Center if they exist for Linux platforms. If not, you can probably find a substitute there. You're not gonna find iTunes.
