This is a tricky one - I've got a Ubuntu disk image for the PPC architecture, and I would like to access it from within Virtual PC. How would I be able to switch PPC from the virtual x86 architecture to the native PPC architecture so I can install Ubuntu on Virtual PC?
Got a tip for us?

VirtualPC doesn't have that ability. It's whole purpose in life is to emulate the x86 environment. You could use Mac on Mac, or Mac on Linux, but I don't think they support Tiger.

How possible is running Linux as the base OS and then running OS X as a task? I'm not 100% sure about whether or not Mac-On-Linux supports Tiger or not.

maybe it will support tiger, but it's most likely untested and i'd prefer to be able to run linux from within OS X if possible
