Here I thought you'd mistyped asking if Mac's can run Lunix :^)  If 
that was the question then you'd first have to find a C-64 emulator. 
:^)

My apologies, I simply couldn't resist the bad joke.  Believe it or 
not Lunix is a "Unix Clone" for the Commodore 64.

I am curious, what does Linux offer that Mac OS X doesn't?  I've been 
running Linux for just over 15 years now, and once I *finally* moved 
to Mac OS X, I no longer needed a Linux box for most things.  I do 
have a couple systems that run Linux, but I basically never boot into 
it.
