Wine/Linux?
I just found Wine which allows to run windows without installing Windows.
Is there anything similar for Linux. I would like to run Linux top of Mac OS X Tiger (PPC) without installing distros or creating partitions etc because i need it only rarely. |
Have you tried a virtual machine? Isn't Parallels the VM for Macs?

Virtual machines are pretty straightforward to install and use. There isn't a "reverse wine" that I know of.
having said that, a project popular a few years ago was Fink - it appears to still be running and may be useful for you. |
Maybe you should say what apps do you need. Since GNU/Linux is open source in most part, a lot of apps get ported to other OS's. Perhaps you can already run them.
Also, Wine doesn't run Windows. It runs some specific Windows applications. If you'd like to run the whole OS then XavierP's right. Virtualization it is. |
There is a version of WINE for macs! It is still ion BETA, but it may work.

She wanted to run Linux apps, not Windows's.
