Title: Is there a way to run TC on PPC?
Post by: jconnor on April 01, 2011, 12:39:43 PM

I have an older powerpc Mac Ibook that I would like to run TC on.  Currently I only see that Xubuntu and Yellowdog offer PPC versions, but they are pretty fat OS's.

Is there any hope for my Ibook G4?

Someone would have to compile the whole sources for ppc arch.
However, you sure have more choices than those which you mention, e.g.:

Thanks, I am looking into using Gentoo.

I've been running Debian Lenny on my iBook G3 and Ubuntu 10.10 on my G4 mini. Something like TC for the G3 would be very awesome.
