            Yes you can, but given Mac OS X's "beta status", I wouldn't
    recommend this at this time. You'd be better off installing one of
    the PPC flavors of Linux (LinuxPPC, Yellow Dog, etc.).

            You mean Anarchie/Interarchy, not Fetch. Fetch was written
    by Jim Matthews of Dartmouth. Both of them are very nice guys, and
    write good code, but they are quite different people!

            If you are running something like NetPresenz, it will handle
    all that stuff for you. But yes, stuffing/zipping is a good thing
    regardless!
