    Question Which distro for Mac notebook? (was: I need help please)

    I have just been give a apple mac lap top, and I wish to run a windows based on-line game on it.

    I'm not sure if a emulator will do it, so some one said I should use linux.

    So here's the question can u run linux on a mac and if so how??

    Where do i get a copy from??


    Many Thanks

    Many of the distros have ppc versions. Take a look at distrowatch to get yourself started.

    Well, I'll refrain from locking it for now since AngelSleuth is a first poster. However, in the future please use thread titles that relate to your question as it makes everyone's life easier.

    I agree but it simply wont work. Mac laptops dont have the graphic chip sets to run a decent game. On top of that you will have a windows emulator and emulating x86 on power pc. I just dont see how it would be playable.
