My "feedback" would be to install LinuxPPC. It's not nearly as easy
to install as MachTen, but learning about it would be a much better
use of your time. Even if we did support MachTen (and we don't and
don't plan to), there's no substitute for using the same OS that
people using your applications will be using. Nowadays that means
Linux Intel or Linux PPC often enough that anyone planning to support
UNIX systems should have a box running one or the other.
