First off, it's not a good idea performance-wise. There isn't a PowerPC emulator with anything approaching decent performance, even on a fast PC you're going to be looking at performance similar to a PPC604e at best. You might be able to get a usable OS9 boot, but OS X is gonna suck massively on any PPC emulator.
Secondly, you can't get a legal version of OS X for that use. The license agreement specifically restricts you to using it on Apple system. If I was looking to do a light use OS X box on the ultra-cheap, I'd look for an old B&W G3, stuff it full of PC100 SDRAM and run it headless via VNC with OS X 10.3.9 (which in fact I do). -Adam On Wed, Jun 4, 2008 at 1:41 PM, Scott Loveless <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Gots another questions for the Mac crowd. > > In the very near future I'm going to attempt to run OSX via a PowerPC > emulator on a PC with Linux.
