PPC is PowerPC. Which is the processor architecture used in all modern Apple
computers, some IBM servers and various other machine (mostly embedded or
high-end stuff). In my case, it's the processor in my Apple powerbook :)
I'm running Debian GNU/Linux on it though, so can't tell you about non-linux
operating systems.
