Is there a free program to install Linux on the iBook as a virtual

time I run the regular OS and just kind of command-tab between, as
though they are windows. Is this possible?
It's certainly possible for Intel Macs.
If so, what is the program called, where can I get it, and what is the
cost?
The most common options are commercial:
Parallels Desktop for Mac:

VMWare Fusion:

These are not the only options, although they are the options I'm using.
There's also the free and open source QEMU, for instance:

And OpenOSX, which is a commercial product that used QEMU:
