I have already downloaded a version of OSX SL, can I install it? Someone told me I have to emule it, how can I? Or I need a custom version?

EDIT: After using lspci, I got this:

Code:

00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 82801HBM/HEM (ICH8M/ICH8M-E) SATA AHCI Controller (rev 03)

I think my SATA controller does support AHCI, and the chipset is ICH8.

You are right it supports AHCI.
They probably told you to emulate it, running it in Emulation with VirtualBox, VMWare or similar, not emule.
Thats different than installing it in real hardware. Installing in real hardware will add another OS to your computer, installing in a emulation environment will only let you run it from inside Ubuntu with limited performance.
I think you should do a little bit more of research before you know what you want to do with OS X...
