Hello! Could I install a native installation of tiger os x in an x86
machine?

Hi Jordi,

Try this:
http://pearpc.sourceforge.net/about.html

It is reputed to run very slowly, however.

You would be in breach of the Apple EULA, basically Apple does not permit
the running of their operating systems on any thing but Apple hardware. That
being said you can certainly run tiger on an Intel based Mac using BootCamp
or Parallels.

Um, Tiger _is_ the operating system that natively runs on an Intel Mac.
You need BootCamp or Parallels (or VMware) to run _Windows_ on an Intel
Mac.

True, just me getting myself mixed up, I should have just left off the bit
about BootCamp and Parallels then it would have been correct re running
Tiger on x86 architecture.

I'll give you one word, you'll have to take it from there...  OSX86.
