Distros are a popular Hackintosh alternative to Unibeast, a better-known installation tool which requires a retail copy of Mac OS X instead. Yosemite Zone is essentially just a renamed version of the Niresh distro that we’ve covered previously on this website, except it has been updated to work with Apple’s newest version of Mac OS X.

How much storage space do I need for Yosemite?
If you actually want to be able to use and fully test your Yosemite install, I recommend at least allocating 50GB of storage space to Yosemite partition. You might be able to scoot by with 30GB~ but that’s really pushing it if you actually want to be able to use Yosemite, download updates, and download apps.
