I have Basilisk installed, but it is of no use for web page testing, as
PPC applications do not run on it, no matter the OS version: the most
modern browsers I found in 68k version are IE 4.0, Netscape 4.05 and
iCab 2.95. Until I find the time to install PearPC, I try to simulate
Safari testing with Konqueror on Linux (actually a Knoppix live CD), as
they should have the same KHTML rendering engine. Has anybody compared
the real Safari with Konqueror ?

As the only proper way to test to to actually run the software (screen
shots don't help much with JavaScript), and while any standards based
code which works properly in Firefox stands a good chance of also
working in Safari, IE, on the other hand (surprise, surprise) isn't
quite such a sure thing. Now, while I'm not ready to go out and by a
Mac, does anyone have any experience with emulators under either WinXP
or (x86 based) Linux?
I've heard of SoftMac, Basilisk II, and PearPC, but I don't know much
about them, so maybe someone can fill in the gaps. PearPC can emulate
a PowerPC and run up to OS X, but at 1/40 of the speed (that figure
might be out of date). The other two emulate the 68K and can run up
to OS 8.1, but how fast? Up to OS 7.5.5 is available free from Apple;
is this enough for IE5? Basilisk II can run under several OS's,
including WinXP and Linux, but which is faster?
