Fedora Core has been ported to run on the powerPC processor, the stick portion of Sugar on a Stick has not. By booting Fedora on your powerPC Mac, you change it into a Fedora machine. You may then install Sugar directly -''yum''. The use of intel processor emulation on a powerPC Mac has not been tested. Due to aging speeds, installing Fedora and Sugar directly onto powerPC Mac will be the most productive. See the Linux section for more details.
