I am trying to install a MEAN stack (I don't even really know what that MEANS!) but am Just wondering if there are any limitations in terms of hardware on my somewhat outdated machine. I wish there was a way to install a newer mac os version on my laptop because it still seems to work good for me.
Yes, Mongo supports OS X 10.6 and up. Mongo likes to use a lot of memory. While technically it should run, it's probably not going to be a good time.

Has anyone got a Mac VM working on OpenStack? It is possible on KVM with a patch so the theory is there http://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/~somlo/OSXKVM/ but has anyone done it and how maintainable is it?
I would try virtualbox first. Here is a guide:

Vmware patches from my experience are most compatible but after looking over what is described in the post, I'd say it looks solid. Honestly, even though it should work, expect a different set of issues with KVM compared to native.
I'm trying to learn to code in Objective C, but I am not ready to commit to purchasing a Mac for just this purpose, seeing as I have a good Dell laptop. My computer has VMware installed on it, but I do not know how to actually go through the steps, and I do not know what I need to install or purchase(if absolutely necessary). Eventually, I hope to get a Mac, so this won't be needed, but until then, I want to find a way to compile Objective C so I can actually learn how to use it. Thanks.
While it is technically possible, I'll tell you from experience:
To run Xcode and the iOS Simulator, you will need to have MacOS running. Oficially it only runs on Apple Hardware, buuut, you can always use virtualizers and Hackintosh. There are plenty of good tutorials online if you choose this method.
My advice: DON'T do it!
When I started to develop iOS apps, I had a Windows PC, but after trying lots of different approaches to virtualize MacOS, with none I had great results. I bought a MacBook on a sale, and it's just a better iOS development experience overall. It's priceless not to have to deal with driver searching and compatibility issues.
First virtualize MacOS X, inside then iOS with XCode. See http://www.macbreaker.com/2012/07/mountain-lion-virtualbox.html
Yes you can, you need to virtualize OSX inside you Windows, and then use XCode as the other stated, however it doesen't work with nearly all AMD CPU's but i think Dell uses mostly Intel. And a Mac costs alot. For example i don't have money for one, the cheapest one costs $1,600 where i come from, but if you are going to get a Mac, i would wait for that.
But they really are expensive, and i only need a Macbook for debugging.
[Assuming you already have the mac installation image or vmware file]
Sadly Vmware does not include support for mac in it's latest versions
So you'll have to patch(aka Vmware Unlocker for OS X) it.
Follow this link http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/files/file/20-vmware-unlocker-for-os-x/ (you'll be required to set up an account)
Or alternatively you can download the VirtualBox(https://www.virtualbox.org/)
Happy Coding
Use virtualbox instead of VMWare. If it does'nt work, install the extension pack for virtualbox.
MongoHub installed on Mac OS X 10.6.8
program is having multiple problems (query, edit, add, delete) with database management.
anyone else experienced problems with MongoHub?
The original MongoHub 2.3.0 is no longer maintained and will crash on current versions of OS X.
The Fotonauts MongoHub fork (currently 2.7) that's mentioned on the official MongoDB site works as expected.
You can download Fotonaut's MongoHub.
If you use Eclipse, then you can try the MONJA who is an excellent plugin
Found robomongo. Absolute the best up until now. Has osx, linux and windows versions.
Other R-users may well agree that the RStudio IDE has been an extremely effective way to increase productivity. But, with the release of RStudio 0.96.122, neither 32-bit Macs nor OSX < 10.6 (Snow Leopard) are supported. I run OSX 10.6, but on a 32-bit Intel Mac; hence, my choices are
Accept that this will be the last functional release for my system and deal with its limitations.
Complain to the developers - I'd rather not.
Buy expensive new hardware, i.e. a new Mac.
Stop using R and/or RStudio - no way!
So my question is: At what point is it wise to upgrade hardware rather than keep a previous release of software such as RStudio? Is 64-bit that important for "normal" users?
Clearly RStudio is actively developed by some really clever programmers but, damn, Macs are expensive.
I'm currently facing the same issue. My guess is that you could install R on Amazon EC2. I'm going to try that myself in the coming days. I'll come back here to ask how to use a proxy to secure the result.
I found the only one simillar question but that's for linux and xcode only...
Is it possible to set up a Linux box with distcc to build my XCode projects?
im really interested to use OSX GCC for OPENBSD BOX. because my server is really slow, and all I need is file sharing and printing at home. I like to use ports very much, especially rebuilding all packages for slow cpu, it's really noticable difference, anyway, IMHO, is it possible?
Using distcc is not the issue here. What you need is a OS X -> OpenBSD crosscompiling toolchain, which is something that works well.
