Where do I get Windows and Mac emulators for PCLinuxOS?

Today I switched from Ubuntu to PCLinuxOS because of all the great reviews and it took about 5 min to get me to take that live CD and put it onto my hard drive. There is only one problem I have found with it, I can’t find any Windows or Mac OS X emulators for it. The ones I had from Ubuntu don’t work on PCLinuxOS and I don’t feel like buying more for this Linux OS so are there any free ones? Just something free that will let me use my Windows and Mac programs (preferably Windows XP and Mac OS X).
Wine doesn’t work with PCLinuxOS. At least there isn’t a download for it.

Help with installing Ubuntu 8.10 on an Intel Mac Mini?

Ok, this is going to sound as weird as heck. So I had my Mac Mini running Leopard, and I decided to install Ubuntu 8.10 on my external hard drive (500 GB). So I burned the CD, booted into it,selected the installer, selected my external hard drive to install Ubnuntu on, which was SBC or somthing like that. So I went on and right before the instlaller started, I made sure all my settings were correct. It said it would format my external hard drive, so I hit Continue. After the installer was done, I rebooted. I held down Alt (Option) and all that was on the list was my Live CD. So I got all freaked out and restarted without holding down Alt or C. No Apple, and so I just waited. And big whoop-de-do, no Mac OS X or Linux! So I’m like HOLY SHIT and so I restarted, and the same file with the question mark appeared again. So I booted into the live CD, and all day I have tried to install Ubuntu onto my external and also tried my internal. No luck. So I was wondering if somebody could help me with installing Ubuntu until I buy another Leopard CD. And please, no wise cracks like Drop you computer off a balcony or somthing. And no, I can’t call a technition. So, I’m trying to install Ubuntu 8.10 on an Intel Based Mac Mini, with only the Ubuntu 8.10 Live CD (desktop edition). And if you are wondering, yes, I am running the live CD right now.
And also now my external hard drive had 3 partitions, and I was also wondering if there was a way to get rid of them.

How do I install Ubuntu 8.10 over Mac os 10.5?

Ok, I wanted to install Ubuntu on my 500GB external hard drive. Well actually at the time I was trying to install Kubuntu on it. Ok so I selected my external hard drive, and hit install. So once I installed, I wanted to test it by holding alt (option) after the mac turns on. So I held down alt, and instead of it showing all the bootable drives/CDs, the screen just stayed grey until a file with a question mark appeared on the screen. So I’m like ” HOLLY SH*T!!!!!! I INSTALLED IT OVER OS 10!!!!!” So I inserted the Live CD and held down alt and selected it. And big whoop-de-do, Linux and Mac OS X are gone! So I decided I will buy the Mac CD off Amazon, but until then I will need some kind of OS. So I am trying to install Ubuntu 8.10 so I can either hold down alt and select it or it will just go straight to Linux. So bottom line, I just need to find a way to install Ubuntu Linux 8.10 desktop onto my computer so it will be bootable.
Oh yah I’m using the live CD right now and I have an Intel based Mac Mini. (I’m not too sad OS X got erased, I think I had a virus anyway lol)
Oh and also I can’t call a technition because if my dad finds out he will beat be dead. Luckily he dosn’t use this computer.
