ubuntu ppc rocks although the greatest pitfall in any linux
installment is the lack of support for the closed source airport

Not officially that is. No need to look too far with Google and other

Hi Shlomi,
You're right about the fact that they are not going to allow MacOS to run on
non-Apple hardware. However, they neither confirmed nor denied trying to use
