Works great for me! I wouldn't call myself a heavy user by any means, but it performs everything I have come to expect maxima to perform. It even fixes the problem I was having with the automatic loading of libraries.
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php? func=detail&aid=1562636&group_id=17203&atid=117203 I haven't tested it on my PPC machine yet, but I would be surprised if it doesn't run. I've tested it with TeXMacs, running a fair number of commands, and that seems to wok quite well. Plotting works fine, too, with both openmath and gnuplot. xmaxima runs just fine - though attempting to launch it from the menu of X11 doesn't work very well. Sean On Mar 24, 2007, at 11:50, David R.
