It runs Debian/PPC very nicely actually.  That is free to maintain.  I
know a number of Mac OS X users that have switched to Debian on their
macs because they got fed up with the limitations of Mac OS X.

Sure you don't get the same level of integration with Linux on the mac,
but it does work rather well, and gives you more control over
everything.

And there is Mac on Linux you can use to boot Mac OS X off your current
install while running Linux and it runs VERY well.  That way you can
yuour osx desktop in a window of X while running linux at the same time
and both seem to run at perfectly normal speed.
