How can I emulate Debian for PowerPC on Intel processor?
Dear Team!
I currently virtualize with vmware,
Please how can I* run Debian for PPC on Intel or How can I emulate Intel to support PPC OS
Thanks in advance

A first thought:
qemu (contains qemu-system-ppc).

The interesting question is what "flavor" of PowerPC? There are
NewWorld Macs, OldWorld Macs, and a few flavors of IBM and embedded
powerPC, each with their own boot firmware interface.
I've never used qemu, but I'm told it provides an emulated PPC VM.
But I have no idea of which boot firmware it emulates, if any.
Anybody know?
Rick
PS: I've cross-posted to the debian-powerpc in hopes they might have
some light to shed...

Since you're running Windows XP, try Qemu Manager:
http://www.davereyn.co.uk/download.htm
It's easy to install and includes a gui to setup virtual machines.
After that you can boot from an iso image for the architecture of your
choice.

It actually emulates several different types of PPCs:
lakeview ok % qemu-system-ppc -M '?'
Supported machines are:
mpc8544ds mpc8544ds
bamboo bamboo
ref405ep ref405ep
taihu taihu
mac99 Mac99 based PowerMAC
g3beige Heathrow based PowerMAC (default)
prep PowerPC PREP platform
As far as actual firmware, I believe it's Open Firmware, either through
openbios-ppc or openhackware. A long time ago, I tried to install Mac
OS X 10.1 but was unsuccessful.

I got two Unix OS: Debian for PPC and AIX IBM for PPC.
My computer CPU is a Intel with Host OS Windows XP.
So, I don't know how to emulate this CPU to run these OS.
This may be a silly question, but WHY are you trying to do this? AIX
only runs on PPC (unless you're running AIX v1 or v2) but Debian
certainly runs on Intel. It might be simpler to build a new VM based on
Debian for Intel - it would certainly perform a lot better than
emulating a PPC.
Now, if you were asking about emulating PPC so you could run AIX under
VMware, you might start by looking here:

Alright!
Thank you for your help!
Cheers
