Linux on OS X

[Michael D. Crawford]

I don't know, but it may be straightforward to port User Mode Linux to OS X.

On their website, they discuss the possibility of using it to run Linux on 
other operating systems.

However, I think they also say that it's presently for x86 only.  So likely you 
would need to do some powerpc assembly code programming.

I'd love to do it myself but I won't have the time for the forseeable future.

User Mode Linux is at http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/

What UML does is run a Linux kernel as a regular user process on a Linux 
system.  The basic concept could be ported to other OSes so you could run Linux 
under OS X or even Windows.

UML works so well that ISPs are using it to set up virtual hosts where they can 
pass out root passwords to all their users.
