There's another good one for PowerPC folks: Mac on Mac
If you're running Mac OS/X, this allows you to run a Mac OS/X guest.
Basically, it's a fork of Mac on Linux (MoL: http://www.maconlinux.org).
I'd really like a Linux on Mac for my old 12" powerbook. Sadly, running
Linux under OS/X means slow emulation vs virtualization at the moment.
I am finally migrating away from my 12" powerbook now though.
The replacement laptop is runing Ubuntu Breezy (AMD64) on an MSI1013
(barebones MSI S270 with updated components). I've managed to get fglrx
working, and ACPI suspend-to-RAM and suspend-to-disk are functional..
getting that to work makes a Linux laptop viable for me again. Yay!
