Hi there,
I once read that some people involved in the development of apple's finder (platinum) created a new company to develop a new GUI for linux that will resemble that of the apple.
What happened with this? Was true?

Yes it is true. Some of the original people that worked on the Mac GUI became part of a company (Eazel) and made a file browser called Nautilus.

For more info see: http://www.eazel.com

Nautilus has some very cool features and looks very nice. It has "photorealistic" resizeable icons, "play-on-hover" for MP3 files, thumbnail icons for graphics AND plain text files, different skins,... in short... all sorts of GUI candy.

And yes it runs on LinuxPPC.
