virtual machines

[The General]

are their any hardware emulators (like vmware, qemu, bochs, etc) that will run PPC operating systems?

i want a virtual machine that will run linux well .. and not have to translate all the instructions from x86 to ppc ...

it would also be pretty cool to run os 9.2 in it, any maybe even osx

thanks.

Just to be clear, you want a program that will emulate PPC and run on your x86, right?

Best way to run Linux on a Mac, period.

yeah i know about ppc linux ...

kind of hard to explain ... but its rather fun to play around with crap like this.

if i wanted a stable, native install of linux, i'd turn on my desktop that has debian on it.
