 From what I understand it will run anything that will compile on it 
that normally compiles for OS X - at least that's what the website implies:

As for requirements all they list is 32 -> 64meg RAM and 1 -> 2gig hard 
drive space with a VESA 2.0 capable Framebuffer.  I'm gonna try it with 
one of my old Pentiums just to see how slow it runs. ;-)

Hmm...I wonder if it will even boot on the PPC Nubus 6100 I have 
here...worth toying with.  If it happens to work with Samba an Localtalk 
I can stick the 6100 under my Dataproducts laser to bypass the 
non-working ethernet service on it - it does have a localtalk port.
I don't hold out much hope though.
