It should also work on any PCI Power Mac or later(PPC 603 or 604 required, so if you have an early 7500, you'll need a new CPU card) . OS X is also a BSD, and will run on any G3 or G4 Mac other than the original Powerbook G3 (250MHz 12.1" Screen), and most PCI Power Mac's with CPU-Slot CPU's, given enough Ram and a G3 or G4 upgrade card (via XPostoFacto). NuBus based PowerMacs and early PPC Performa's only run mkLinux. The Performa's (Any before the 6360 other than the 61xx's) Should be avoided as their design is crippled and quite buggy. Adam
