I just bought an old Apple iMac G4 for $10 at a yard sale and I'm trying to figure out what I could install on the unit to make it somewhat functional/useful. For $10 I couldn't resist. Now if I can figure out something that I can actually install on it that would make it useful I will have gotten a great deal.
Any thoughts and suggestions are appreciated.

You could install
any Mac OS X up to 10.5
any Linux distro for PowerPC (see e.g. Penguin PPC

Now I got my Raspberry Pi. I am an experienced application software developer, but I've never done hardware stuff or low-level programming before. I want to build a minimal Linux, including drivers for all hardware on my Pi. For learning purpose, I don't want to install any pre-built Linux distribution on my Pi. Where should I start?
You can also check out Buildroot, http://buildroot.org. We have a default configuration for the Rasberry-Pi, and several contributors are working on the support for this platform.
Start with openembedded. There are several links already dedicated to raspberry pi, such as:

I have one question regarding running XCode in Windows OS
is it possible to install xcode in windows 7 machine?
It's not in Apple's interests to let you do that, so they don't make it easy...you could probably use a VM or Hackintosh (I've known devs who used a hackintosh for a while).
Use a Virtual Machine (VirtualBox for example) to run OSX in Windows.

The kernels which are used in various Linux based OS are same or they are different?
They are all based on the version found on kernel.org, but they usually add their own patches and backport fixes and hardware support.
For the most part the differences are not something to worry about.

I am a iPhone Developer. I have a dell inspiron 1525 laptop. I need to install mac os x(Lion or snow leopard) on it since buying a mac is too costly. Just for practicing.
Guys can anyone help me on how to install mac os. Thanks in advance.
That's totally illegal, but nothing is impossible. There are some tricky ways to do it. But you won't get best results or good development environment in it. So, if you want Mac OSX, then buy a Mac. I will not share any tricky ways to install Mac OSX in dell laptop as it is illegal. Correct me if I am wrong.

I'm deadly interested in Cocoa. I want to begin to study Objective-C and to use Xcode. Please tell me what the minimal (let's say, the cheap one) Mac Model you'd like to recommend me. I am meaning for Xcode 4.
Thank you.
Any Mac you can buy at this moment will be fine. Your cheapest option would probably be the Mac mini if you have a decent screen already. Other good options can be the MacBook 13" (I use this is my main development machine) and iMac of you don't need to be mobile.
Any new Mac. Or any used Intel-based Mac under 3 years old.
