Just wondering - is it possible to run Linux compiled apps

RB's Linux binaries are X86 based. So they won't run on your iBook,
for a variety of reasons but most fundamentally the binary
instruction set isn't compatible with your processor.
Well, that and OS X is BSD based rather than Linux based so even if
you had an iCBM (intel Chip Based Mac) you still couldn't run a linux
binary in OS X since the binary formats are incompatible. you would
have to have linux running in a vm (which you could do with virtual
PC I suppose)
There is a whole lot of Linux distro flavors to run on PPC (and even
68K, I started there) Macintosh; Debian, Ubuntu and some others that I
tried; funny to see those windows (the interface in general) under my
Macintosh. Thus I just booted on Live CDs or DVDs...
