Tried following the instructions - ended up with some "command not found" stuff when trying to connect with the NX BEta client for OSX (the older client requires rosetta, which most modern OSX machines don't have)
The instructions could use an update to the latest version of ubuntu too.... but this will make for a fun weekend project - excellent find (more for the EBS shortcuts and bootstrapping method + NX tips than the concept itself)
OS X will prompt you to download and install Rosetta from Apple, hassle-free, if you attempt to launch a PPC application and you don't have it installed already.
It only works if you're launching an app bundle, though, not if you're trying to run a bare binary from the command line. I just downloaded some old PPC-only shareware app and launched it.
Apparantly there's a .pkg file somewhere on the OS install DVD too, but I couldn't find it on my MacBook's restore USB stick.
