davidnix71:
I have a 1.25 GHz eMac that I would like to put everything on. What I can't do in Panther is now run under VPC 6.01 "Win98".

Red Hat wouldn't install in VPC, it's installer hung. X86 PC Ubuntu installed but was unusable because the video was stretched way out left to right. The live ppc Ubuntu runs fine, but like almost all versions of Linux has very little dialup support, so a dual boot to a ppc Linux still won't get me very far.

In VPC Win98 I can access the web by enabling networking and dialing out in Panther.
Plus, having Linux as a "Guest" os allows more control and security.

xyle_one:
Why not just install Linux on the machine? They do make Linux for PPC systems.

WMD:
Try running Ubuntu PPC in Virtual PC.  It can do that, can't it?

PS: Where do you live exactly?  I live in that general area. :)

hm_murdock:
Virtual PC can't run PPC code.

It emulates x86... ya know, a "virtual IBM PC" :)

Aloone_Jonez:
It sounds like what you need is a virtual machine rather than an emulator, failing that can't you just dual boot with Ubuntu?

Is there an easy way to compile Linux programs on a Mac? Since both are UNIX it might be possible.
