Can I dual-boot Gentoo Linux and Mac OS X?

Gentoo Linux Documentation -- Gentoo Linux/PowerPC Frequentl...
Yes you can! In fact, yabootconfig will automatically detect and setup /etc/yaboot.conf with Linux, Mac OS X and even classic Mac OS (see the Gentoo Handbook for details on yabootconfig). The trick is in how you partition your hard drive. Before installing Gentoo, startup with the Mac OS X Install CD. Use the Disk Utility to partition the drive in your machine into two or three partitions.

Can I run Mac OS 9 or Mac OS X under Gentoo Linux?

Gentoo Linux Documentation -- Gentoo Linux/PowerPC Frequentl...
Yes, as long as you are running Gentoo Linux on PPC hardware, you can use Mac-on-Linux which allows you to run an instance of OS 9, OS X or Linux as a process on Linux. Simply emerge mol to install this package. MOL supports Mac OS 7.5.2 to 9.2.2, as well as any version of OS X. It can be run from a console framebuffer or run in a window on X. Note: To run MOL fullscreen, you'll need to compile MOL with the fbcon use flag enabled and run it in a console framebuffer.

How do I dual-boot Mac OS X with other OSes without messing with bootloaders?

Technical FAQ - OSx86
Quick and easy, copy chain0 to the root directory of your bootable Windows drive, then add the following the bottom of your "boot.ini" file: C:\Chain0="Mac OS X86" this however renders the Quiet Boot option useless, so if the Darwin loader annoys you as much as it does me then add this to the bottom of your "boot.ini" instead: C:\Chain0="Mac OS X86" "Quiet Boot"="Yes" I do not mess about with boot loaders. I run XP and OSX. I boot from pc BIOS F11, which enables boot from any available disk.

Where can I get a Mac OS X Aqua scheme?

Frequently Asked Questions
I am afraid that Apple's legal department does not want anyone distributing an Aqua scheme, so we will not post any such schemes on the Kaleidoscope Scheme Archive. Although Aqua schemes are probably available elsewhere on the web (please do not ask us for URLs), we ask that you respect Apple's right to control its intellectual property and not use these schemes with Kaleidoscope.

Can I run QEMU on Mac OS X?

FrequentlyAskedQuestions - #qemu Wiki
Check out the Q project: http://www.kju-app.org/kju/. I have tested it briefly, and it works well so far. It is in Alpha officially but feels more advanced than alpha to me. Alternatively Parallels is the mainstream proprietary software. Also works well, although is a RAM hog, especially with two guests. You can try the PDtweaker module for Unsanity's Application Enhancer to make it work smoother. I couldn't make APE work on 10.4.7 though.

Yes, but you will have to have two partitions (or hard drives) so that you can install XP separately from your other system (which can be DOS/Windows 3.1, Windows 9x/Me, Windows NT 4.0, or Windows 2000). Windows XP will automatically set up a boot menu so you can choose which OS you want when the machine starts up or reboots. The boot menu is configurable by hand-editing the hidden file boot.ini, which you will find in the root of the C: drive.

Is there a Linux or Mac OS X version available?

pVoice Software - enabling the disabled :: Frequently Asked ...
No. Not yet. In theory, you'd think, Perl is portable, wxPerl is portable, so just run it on any platform. The thing is that I've had to build in some Windows-specific things in pVoice, and I haven't had the time to try and find Linux-equivalents for it. I don't own a Mac, so I can't even begin to try to port it to that platform. If however, you are interested in a Linux or Mac version of pVoice and you know a bit about Perl, you're welcome to give it a shot yourself.

REPLY =>Would be nice to have some kind of body to your entry, eh? OK, you could do it, you'll need a working linux install and software called PearPC. As the xbox (as a pc) is a diffeent processor type to the Mac's (FYI; PowerPC) you'll need to use PearPC to emulate the PPC. You'll also need retail OSX install CD/DVD's too. This will be slow, at least 10x slower than the linux runs ATM, but cool. Show us some pics if you do.

How do I compile on a Mac running OS X?

Inform 6 FAQ: Preparing to program
The Inform compiler for OS X must be run through the Unix Terminal utility. If you double-click on its icon from a Finder window, nothing much happens: a Terminal window opens and runs the compiler without parameters, which triggers a "basic usage" message and ends up by stating that no compilation was requested. The compiler needs to be told which file to compile, and we must oblige by explicitely typing it. There are two ways to approach this problem.
