Line 20: === PowerPC Macs === [[PowerPC]] Macs can run Linux through both [[Emulator\|emulation]] and [[Multi-booting\|dual-booting]] ("bare metal")<!-- what about virtualization? -->. The most popular PowerPC emulation tools for Mac OS/Mac OS X are Microsoft's [[Virtual PC]], and the open-source [[QEMU]].<ref name="MacOSXUnixGeeks" /> Linux dual-booting is achieved by partitioning the [[boot drive]], installing the [[Yaboot]] bootloader onto the Linux partition, and selecting that Linux partition as the Startup Disk. This results in users being prompted to select whether they want to boot into Mac OS X or Linux when the machine starts.<ref name="MacOSXUnixGeeks" /> By 2008, a number of major Linux distributions had official versions compatible with Mac PowerPC processors<!-- Macs were Big Endian; G3 and G4 were 32-bit, G5 was 64-bit. Many distros now only support Little Endian PPC. -->, including:<ref name="MacOSXUnixGeeks" />
