OS X programs on Linux

This might turn out to be a more complicated answer than it is a question.

I want to use programs for Mac OS X in Ubuntu 8.10 and was curious as to if there was something out there like Wine that would allow me to do so.

This might also help. I want to use my OS X version of Photoshop CS3.

Any suggestions, or should I just give up?

If it is, it has nothing to do with Wine. Wine is made to run windows applications on *NIX.

Yes, I know it has nothing to do with WINE.. I did say something LIKE WINE.

Was only curious as to if somebody here might be able to help me.

And Austin, thanks for the link but that was posted a good 2 years ago? Any further info?

I've not been able to find anything, hence my posting here.

You've not been able to find anything because there's nothing to find.

NetBSD has a Darwin/Mach-O binary compatibility layer, but interesting
programs (read: Cocoa, or anything similarly Mac OS X-specific) will
probably not work. This has nothing to do with Wine; you may ask
about the status of this on a NetBSD mailing list, but I doubt you'll
find anything more than you've already found.
