If you mean by recompiling the applications in question, often you can. Take a look at MacPorts or Fink. Those are package managers for Mac OS X which contain a lot of applications you normally see on Linux and FreeBSD. If you mean running Linux executables on Mac OS X, you cannot. Linux uses a different binary format as Mac OS X. --=20 Ed Schouten <ed@fxq.nl> WWW: http://g-rave.nl/ --zqjkMoGlbUJ91oFe Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFGE6d552SDGA2eCwURAlUMAJ97BLIL2XvIA2ohwZEkzZsDlCNV1gCfdBu/ u0/4y/GqiUhPh6/69X2Brf4= =okkT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --zqjkMoGlbUJ91oFe--
