Mac-on-Linux - Powerpc
This is a discussion on Mac-on-Linux - Powerpc ; I'm in the process of convincing my wife to upgrade from Mac OS 9.2
to Linux-ppc (prolly YellowDog 3.0). Her big concern is that there
are a few apps running on Mac 9.2 that just HAVE to run for her.

Mac-on-Linux
I'm in the process of convincing my wife to upgrade from Mac OS 9.2
to Linux-ppc (prolly YellowDog 3.0). Her big concern is that there
are a few apps running on Mac 9.2 that just HAVE to run for her.
One, unfortunately, is a game my 7yr old son REALLY likes to play -
Bugdom2.
In perusing the Mac-On-Linux pages, there wasn't any reference
to what games/apps were known to work/not work. Is there a known
list? Anyone know if the game will DEFINITELY work?
Thanks,
jerry

Any games that use open GL (bugdom is one of them) will not work under MOL.
Most apps do though. But bugdom DEFINITLEY wont work
