One reason for this is that gOS is based on Ubuntu, and the last version of Ubuntu that had PPC support was 6.06 - well before gOS came along. Another reason is that gOS developers (unfortunately in my view) have said they will not support PPC. Nor will they support a KDE version. So - for you on your Mac - a link may be good but you will not be able to run anything you've downloaded unless you have an Intel-based Mac, which the error message you are getting suggests you do not. What you will download will be an .iso file, which is an image which you can save to a CD or DVD. If you look at the file, you will see folders and files which, when on a CD or DVD will be bootable on an Intel based Mac. I've found some of the links are more reliable than others, but most links work well - when they work. But once you have the .iso file, you probably have a Mac on which it will not run. If you have a PPC Mac, you should try one of the distributions listed on http://www.penguinppc.org which has the most up-to-date information on Linux for the PPC architecture. -- Graham Todd --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "gOS Linux" group.
