TC is for i386 architecture.

And from what I understand you want to do, it`s not the distribution you are looking for.

Just a curiosity: Why would one like to run Windows (includes i386 emulation) on PPC?

Computers help us solving problems which wouldn`t exist without computers.

Because I want to run windows game on my PS3.
I am using now ubuntu, which it works perfectly, but I am searching for faster distribution.
So, TCL can't help me out?

I got part way there and then the infamous ps3 firmware upgrade forcibly removed linux and that was that...

Yes, TC has qemu and wine, but no PPC port.
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

I have 2 consoles: 3.55 for playing games & 3.15 for running linux.
So, TCL can't be installed on PPC machine or PS3?

As hinted at, tcl would need to be cross-compiled for ppc/cell - I was at the stage of booting on a ps3, when sony pulled the plug.

There's nothing to stop you cross-compiling tcl...
