I know this is a stupid question but, since you can dual boot linux and osx. Could you install the linux version of ut 2004. I am just wondering, i know it is a stupid question. :rolleyes: :confused:

Yes, you can dual boot OS X with any distro of linux made for the PPC architecture, such as Yellow Dog (based off of Red Hat).
But then again, OS X is a distro of Linux.
The only stupid question is the one not asked.

Is installing unreal tournament 2004 posible.

UNIX, not Linux. Similar, but not the same....
If you install and boot into Linux, you should be able to install and run any Linux apps. Including UT2K4. However, performance and stability might be questionable, esp. among graphics-intensive apps (like UT).
Edit: as mentioned below, "any Linux apps which are platform agnostic or written for the PPC." Thanks, broken_keyboard.

I think it might be for x86 Linux only.

i think you're right. at best it might boot, but run terribly slow. But I don't think it will work at all, actually.

It wont work at all. x86 and PPC binaries aren't compatable. Also don't most PPC Linux distros lack 3D support (at least for the hardware that could actually run this game)?
