Re: Mac PPC
I've messed with wine in the past (WAY back) and it did work much of the time. Might be worth trying again. As it is, I have a whole bunch of distributions set up using fake linux machines (grin... virtualbox.) I'm currently re-purposing a bunch of old hardware that will exit my house and end up in homes where they're needed, and every one of them will be running linux. I like open indiana quite a lot too (aka opensolaris) but the linux community is actually alive. oi seems to be gasping comparatively.

Re: Mac PPC
I think you will find that WINE enables you to play most Windows games: https://appdb.winehq.org/ or you could just set your rig up to dual-boot. Richmond.

It never ceases to amaze me how I manage to run the latest LC release via Xubuntu on a Pentium IV that is significantly older than my MacMini PPC and that is significantly older than my Polycarbonate Intel iMac: I am running LC 9 dp 6 on the Pentium IV . . . . admittedly this says buckets about Apple's policy of forcing hardware upgrades by messing around with both their OS and their hardware and nothing about LiveCode.
