Why don't you look for MacOS X solutions? Far and away, your best solution is Virtual PC. You may also try Bochs, which may or may not work with the G5. On general principle, I do not recommend OpenOSX Wintel. It is an implementation of opensource Bochs with G4/G5 acceleration and a price tag.trainguy77 said:

Go with QemuX: http://cordney.com/QemuX
It's a lot faster than bochs, and still free. I'm not sure how Qemu compared to VPC, but I don't think there's too much difference. Inside of Qemu, you can either get a version of Windows and run that, or else run Wine (www.winehq.org) inside of Linux, if you don't want to purchase anything.

Wine won't run on PPC, only x86. You could try Darwine though, a PPC port of Wine, that is designed for OS X.
