PearPC - PowerPC Emulator

PearPC is a platform-independent PowerPC architecture emulator capable of running most PowerPC operating systems. It includes a Just- In-Time compiler for x86 processors.

SheepShaver

SheepShaver is a MacOS run-time environment for BeOS and Linux that allows you to run classic MacOS applications inside the BeOS/Linux multitasking environment. This means that both BeOS/Linux and MacOS applications can run at the same time (usually in a window on the BeOS/Linux desktop) and data ... [More] can be exchanged between them. If you are using a PowerPC-based system, applications will run at native speed (i.e. with no emulation involved). There is also a built-in PowerPC emulator for non-PowerPC systems. [Less]

CRUX PPC

CRUX PPC is a volunteer driven no-profit project based on the releases of CRUX for x86. Unlike other distributions, the primary goal of CRUX is not to be the most popular (read: biggest number of users) or to put as many features as possible into the system. The idea is rather to build a ... [More] streamlined distribution, targeted at a specific audience which in turn gets a system without compromises. The result may not be the best distribution for everybody, but as mentioned above, that’s not the goal. If you’re part of the target audience however, you might enjoy running CRUX just as much as we do. It’s quite hard to do an objective comparison of linux distributions, since it’s often a matter of taste. We therefore believe that you should compare potential candidates yourself, and choose the on [Less]

Hurd on Mach on PowerPC

The goal of this project is to port the OSKit to the PowerPC, then change OSF Mach to use this, and to run the GNU Hurd on it. Currently, there is only a preliminary port of the Hurd to the version of OSF Mach on which MkLinux runs, but unfortunately this version of Mach only supports older ... [More] PowerMacs. The OSKit will provide modern device drivers from Linux, and OSF Mach will use it in a way like GNUMach does. [Less]

New World GNU/Linux

An operating system based on Debian GNU/Linux that is customized and optimized for use on Apple brand computers built on their New World platform. The platform is defined, in part, by the use of Open Firmware version 3.x and PowerPC processors.
