Yes, and no on the assumptions of running Linux software.
Yes, it can be done, but there are! some porting modifications on the back
end that have to be done/met.
This said, a good place to start is:
http://www.macports.com
It's a little bit tricky getting all the dependencies to make it work, but
once you get them, it works like a dream. Granted, there are only certain
apps which've been ported, but the number of available macports apps is
quite large, and is growing quite quickly.

I suppose since Os X is Unix based, it may be possible to run Linux

Hi there folks,
I would like to run xBoard, a linux based chess application on my mac.
Is there any way to do this without having to use a Virtual machine?
Warm regards,
