    Macbook Pro: Ubuntu Host and OS X virtual guest?

    So here's my deal. I have a Macbook Pro and do not want to run OS X natively, but through Virtualbox on Ubuntu. 1) Is this possible? 2) How can I go about and do it since I cannot choose any Mac options in the installation?

    Again, this is on a Macbook Pro and I own the rights to a copy of OS X.

    this is only currently possible on PowerPC macs. using mac-on-linux or pearpc. for intel macs i do not believe it is possible to run OS X as a virtual guest OS.

    Probably not. Apple is a bitch.

    I have a running OS X on Qemulator (Qemu+KQemu)

    qemu -M pc -hda /home/juancarlospaco/OSX -soundhw ac97 -m 1024 -cdrom /home/juancarlospaco/10.5.5/10.5.5.iso -net nic,vlan=0 -net user,vlan=0,hostname=OSX -boot d

    Where did you get the iso? I'm having issues with 10.5.4 retail.

    I believe it is a violation of the OSX license to run it virtual and I doubt an OSX .iso is legal =)
