If you run a MAC couldn't you convert it to linux?

No, object code for one hardware architecture won't run on
others; there's nothing supporting SGI or Alpha systems, for
example. The operating systems have to be recompiled as well;
modules complied to run on a x86 Linux system will not run
under Linux on a Mac or Sun system, for example.
