I believe it applies for all machines that support the x86 instruction set. I'm not sure than Scott is committed to maintaining the Linux PPC engine going forward (did I read that on the MC list?). But I can toss in my vote for getting a cheap PC: I just upgraded to Red Hat 8, and I really like it at lot. Smooth-as-silk installer, nice UI, great auto-update system. And you'll be testing on the most popular Linux version around. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Media Corporation Developer of WebMerge 2.2: Publish any database on any site ___________________________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.FourthWorld.com Tel: 323-225-3717 AIM: FourthWorldInc _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
