Just to let everyone know that wants to run Mac OS X on a PC, it is now possible (though very slow) because of the efforts of PearPC! I'm installing OS X right now!
http://pearpc.sourceforge.net/
And no, you must use this to do it you cannot natively run OS X!

PowerPC Emulator. Now I've seen everything! I've probably have every computer emulator known. I tried everything from Altair BASIC and CP/M (Altair32), to Bochs x86 (Win32) with Windows 95 and Windows NT, and currently running Microsoft VPC with my IBM OS/2 Warp and Redhat 6.2 configuration. On the Macintosh and WinUAE front, I used everything from MacOS 1.1 (VMAC and MiniVMAC) to MacOS 8.0/8.1 (Basilisk II Win32). I'm going to give PerlPC a try!
P.S. I salute Mac OS X users for having the stable, powerful, open-source UNIX core in which they don't expirience crap like Blaster or Sasser. If I ever get a laptop, I putting Redhat 6.2 on it (I've have some expirience with KDE), even though it will still share a partition with Windows XP.
I'm not usually in the Mac Forum, but when I am here, I enjoy the stay.

Actually, it should be possible to run IBM OS/2 Warp 3 for PPC in theory now. I've always wanted to see OS/2 PPC in action. Salute to Open-Source (I noticed that your on SourceForge, where I get most of my programs now, include Bochs x86, and MiniVMac.

I still really wish Apple had gone with BeOS instead of FreeBSD...I'd probably be running X now if that were the case...compared to the unix/linux kernel i really believe the BeOS had more potential (and NO, it's not in any way a form of Unix or Linux, like some seem to think).
I don't know if i'd take bets on it running on a ppc emulator, but ill give it a shot, now that i can at least try...I really do like the PPC version of it more than the Intel, except for the lack of apps..
So is it PearPC, or PerlPC?..
