Hello all,
I got several responses to my post. They all asked why I didn't just load the OSX version and use that. Very good question. It's obvious that I need to go into a little more depth.
OK. Let me lay this out for you and also maybe lay down the gauntlet to some of the hot running unix techno-studs out there.
I work in one of the few high schools in the country that is still mostly Mac. We also have a lot of Cisco network gear. I would like to use some of the software tools that Cisco has available to manage the equipment but Cisco is not a Mac friendly company. One of their tools requires a browser java plugin that is only available for Windows, Solaris and Linux. My thought was to get Linux running on OSX, then Firefox running on Linux, and then try the plug on Firefox to see if I could get that to work for the management tool.
I either need to get this to work, someone needs to tell me how to get the Cisco web tools to work under Safari/FireFox on OSX, or someone needs to hack Cisco's java plugin to work under OSX.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Since this comes up occasionally, I'll expand on what I said earlier:
You CANNOT "get Linux running on OS X" (unless you use some kind of emulator, but I don't think that's what you're shooting for). They are two completely separate operating systems. You _can_ install a version of Linux that is built to run on Mac hardware, but even in that case there's no guarantee that this plugin will work on a Mac.
