OSX Apps and FC2

[cq hoff]

I think I already know the answer, but wanted to ask
just to make sure...

Is it possible to load applications for OSX natively
on to a system running Fedora?

I need to use Macromedia Studio and don't really want
to use an emulator like VMWare.  I've been spending so
much time using Studio that if I have to use an
emulator, I might as well just use the OS being
emulated.

TIA
Chris

No.

If you are talking about Fedora Core on i386 (i.e. on PC hardware) then
I don't even know of an emulator for PPC (i.e. Mac) hardware. If there
was such a thing I imagine it would be very slow. If you mean Fedora
Core on PPC then apparently this is *very* fast, although I admit I've
never used it myself:

I believe that Yellow Dog Linux (which is basically FC ported to PPC)
come with Mac-on-Linux as standard.

Just for information purposes - there is one, it's called PearPC

http://pearpc.sourceforge.net/about.html

..but it's still got a long way to go, and it's also pretty slow.

i guess that you still have mac hardware but want to run primary fedora 
on ppc than have a look at this:

http://www.maconlinux.org/

"Mac-on-Linux is a linux/ppc program which makes it possible to run Mac 
OS in parallel with Linux. MOL is primarily intended to be used by 
those who run linux/ppc as their main operating system but still want 
to be able to run that occasional Mac OS application."

how exactly would you do that without a virtual machine (run ppc native 
binary code on an x86)

The Studio disc comes with both the PC and Mac
versions of the software, so I was thinking (but not
articulating very well) that my options would be to
emulate Windows.  I was having an elder moment so it
didn't occurred to me that the processor architecture
made my original question moot.  I think I'll bug
Macromedia to make a version of their products for
Linux. :-)
