BeOS 5 Pro and Apple Question

[trekiej]

Does anyone have any experience with intstalling BeOS 5.O Pro to an Apple machine?
I have an Apple Workgroup Server 9650.  I do not have an Apple OS to put on it.
Thanks.
I hope this is the right forum.

After looking for a while I found out that you needed Mac OS to run the thing.  Crap! I may run it on a Dell Power Edge machine that I have.  It has 2 x P3-500's.  

I did look at Debian PPC and will probably buy it from www.cheapbytes.com.  My modem.... well you get the idea.

My boss has a couple of 8500's that has been on the shelf for a long while.  He will let me pay it out.  I hope to find a Mac Quadra 800.  It has a 68040 and may make a decent Amiga clone.
Later.

I am hoping to get enough hardware and software to make my own hardware design studio.  I have found what I want to do for the rest of my life as a career.  I got to it late but it will have to do.
I bought the Mac Server from my boss who specialises in 8088 and other vintage hardware.  
I also need to find a Windows program to work with those Mac OS discs.
I like too many computers.  If I get an Xbox360 and a PS3, I may say good buy to MSoft for good.  

Here goes.
Amiga 500, 1000, 1200
Mac LC all in one, AWS9650
PC Socket 754,Dell Power edge1300, Compaq 5345, old clone?
IBM Laptop
(I am trying to add Mac 8500 x 2 and some quadra's)
7 atari 2600's
1 Nintendo 64
1 TI 89 calc ( the best or TI92 )
 :-D

OOps.  
I may get one.  I guess I foiled on that one.

I want to get a dual core cpu for linux.
Has anyone used it with these new chips?
I have a dual P3 500.  If I had more memory it would run alot better.

@ Cannon Fodder
Speculating on the use of the 68040 and maybe RTG and AHI.
Just speculating.
Later.

Does the Quadra's have the same firmware situation as the PPC Macs?  Beos and I believe Linux need Mac OS to be installed.
Maybe I should have included UAE in the discussion.  I have not heard anything about UAE for 68K mac in a while.

I understand that beos wont run.  My heading and content is not in agreement.
I do not know if a quadra has the same firmware situation as the ppc macs (ppc 8500).  I have tried to run Beos on PPC mac and no luck.
OS3.9 on mac with some sort of chip set emulator, unknown answer here.
