Hello Lysa
No, Apple isn't part of the free source community. You have to pay for
OS X. At the Apple site (www.apple.com), it sells for 129 $ and
following hardware requirements are mentioned:
* PowerPC G5, G4 or G3 processor
* Built-in FireWire
* DVD drive is required for installation
* At least 256MB of physical RAM
So it works on G4, but I don't know whether your computer has a
FireWire connection (to do what, I might ask??), and more importantly:
a DVD drive (since OS X comes on a DVD, not CDs)
If you don't have the DVD drive (could be external I suppose) or the
money, I'd suggest you follow Dan's idea, and make a Linux partition
on your hard disk. You probably will need some advise on how to do
this, but I'm sure the Linux community will help you out. Linux isn't
as difficult as it may seem at first.
Good luck,
