    Virtual PPC

    Is there a way to have a virtual Power PC on my intel mac so that I can run classic versions of Mac os?

    There's a project called SheepShaver that will allow you to do this. However, you need a valid PowerPC Macintosh ROM for it to work.

    Apple iMac G5 17" (2 GHz G5) - Mac OS X 10.5.8/Ubuntu 10.04
    Asus Eee PC 901 (1.6 GHz Atom N270) - Fedora 13
    Apple Macintosh Quadra 650 (33 MHz MC68040) - Mac OS 8.1
    "JHVH-1" (2 GHz AMD Athlon XP 2400+) - Slackware 13.1

    Getting SheepShaver to actually work is quite a chore. This tutorial should make it a lot easier: http://www.uneasysilence.com/archive/2006/08/7352/
    Mac mini — 1.25GHz G4, 1GB RAM — OS 10.5.8
    MacBook Pro — 2.26GHz C2D, 8GB RAM — OS 10.6.8

    Useful programs: Privoxy, Butler, ffmpegX, VLC, Perian, Tofu, Wcalc
