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?

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.

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...
