I got a copy of Mac OS X Panther. I was wondering if i could install it on an AMD Duron Computer running Ubuntu 6.06 and a Pentium 4 computer running WinXP. Help greatly appreciated. Thanks

Yep, calumc hit the nail on the head. There are various "versions" floating around on the internet (that I won't tell you how to get) that run on x86 platforms. It was originally a developer release, then it leaked, and well...
And trust me, they aren't worth your time.

Plus running a Mac operating system on something that isn't an Apple Mac is illegal...
You can run it within a virtual machine spec'ed to an intel mac...

@whoever it was that asked what the difference hardware wise between a mac and pc was.
The difference is a little chip placed on apple motherboards that (in simple terms) says "hey I'm a mac, feel free to boot OS X."
I believe the chip is called a TPM or trusted platform module. It's been a while since i read about it but i think it allows the OS to verify the hardware that it is running on. Thats how they keep you from booting OS X on a generic PC. That and i think mac's have a different boot process. They don't use typical BIOS.
Other than that ever since the switch to Intel Mac's are pretty much just glorified, locked down, unupgradable PC's with a pretty operating system. Thats why i get so frustrated when people are conned in to thinking that Apple has better hardware. It's nice hardware, but nothing you can't find elsewhere.

What if I'm a world unturning.
This is all so true on so many accounts people. I own 2 macs myself in the mass of computers in my home. I use the g3 desktop for a glorified mp3 player and the g3 laptop for basic things. As for the TPM module thing yeah it sucks. Dell released them a few years back as an option for the optiplex and precision workstation lines. Makes a hell of a time working with them. but int he end if you wanna run mac os get a mac. IF you want to do everything else other than basic stuffs get a pc. I love my mac's but not as much as I love my pc.
lolz why in gods name would u want to run something like that? has it not dawned upon u that mac suck big chubby ones?
i will never agree with windows..... but going over to mac osx? kinda sacreligeous in my opinion ( i think i spelled it wrong)
lolz there is a ****load of different ways u could do it if ya want.... but i cant see why :S
