Mac-on-Linux is a linux/ppc program which makes it possible to run Mac OS in parallel with Linux.
MOL is primarily intended to be used by those who run linux/ppc as their main operating system but still want to be able to run that occasional Mac OS application. Other possible applications include:

If you would turn that idea around: Mac OSX mainly/Linux infrequently, I believe you'd have a winner.
Since I am a Mac person, I have no use for your program. However, I do hope you'll program a version for Mac people.
I wish you good luck; it appears that you have a winner of an idea for Linux users.
