I'd love to run the PPC version of Ubuntu in a virutal machine on my G5, but I haven't been able to find anything which will let me do that. Q doesn't support PPC virutalization yet, I don't think QEMU lists PPC host/PPC guest as doable with Linux yet and PearPC looks like a non-starter. I'm just checking in here to see if anyone knows of a solution I've missed. Obscure is okay, so long as it works.

Looks promising, but it's very early alpha software.
