Dunno about this. There may be something in the PPC version of Mandrake 8.0
for this, although I doubt it.

There is an app that allows you to run GNU/Linux with X on one tty and a Mac
desktop (up to MacOS 9) on another tty. If you have MacOS X installed you
should also have MacOS 9 installed as well (MacOS X uses it to run old apps).
Unfortunately, I don't remember its name (I haven't touched a Mac in about 10
years).
