I don't believe it runs on a MAC, yet.
Just as F.Y.I.:
Linux does and has run MAC's. The most recent non-Intel MAC's are Power
based. Here is document from IBM about Linux on MAC from 2004.

As Ted has pointed out, Linux will run on all IBM hardware platforms;
zSeries, pSeries, iSeries, and xSeries (obviously as they are x86 based)
and their older incarnations: S/390's, RS/6000, AS/400 (Power base only
I believe).
Although it did take IBM awhile to jump on the Linux bandwagon, I am not
really that sure it took them any longer than any of the other major
computer vendors. I would have to research it but I when did companies
like Dell, Compaq/HP, NEC, and Unisys start supporting Linux on their
boxes? I don't know who else might be considered a major computer
vendor, I am sure there are others that I don't know about.
