I just randomly looked into hackintoshing my laptop and I found out that the hp probook 4530s is specifically bought just to hackintosh!

So now that I knew that almost all the hardware works I started to look for install guides.
I found them but they say I need a 8gb flashdrive. I've been too lazy to order a new flash drive like I had been meaning to for almost a year now, but I finally ordered two 16gb ones.

While I'm waiting for them to arrive I have one question.
Should I install Lion right away or should I wait for mountain lion?
Meaning, will it be easier to upgrade to mountain lion from lion or will a clean install of mountain lion be easier?

PS: I will be dual-booting linux with a small chance of adding windows too.
 
It is really a matter of personal choice. As you can tell from this board, there are plenty of people installing Lion now. Your call.

If you're interested in multi-boot, check my blog. I've written a pretty detailed quad-boot Win7, Win8, Lion, and Ubuntu. You might find it useful.
 
But why buy Lion and then pay to upgrade in a week?
Save yourself the money and go with Mountain Lion.
