[K12OSN] Macintosh Client Question

[Will Scurrell]

To my knowledge there isn't a Macromedia Flash player for PPC architecture
machines running Linux. What flash player are you using?

Hello all,

I have been experimenting with some old Apple PowerMac 5500 machines, and
running them as "fat clients" to access my LTSP server.  They have yellowdog
3.0.1 installed, and automatically start an X session with the -query
flag...  It works well, except that when running mozilla, flash sites cause
mozilla to die (no error windows, just dies).

I seem to remember this being a problem before with older i386 hardware
running as clients... but I dont' remember what the problem was... maybe RAM
in the system?

I have:

32MB System RAM on the Mac
384MB Swap on the Mac

A P133 with only 16MB of ram booted right next to it handles the flash
fine...  Does the flash somehow clash with the PPC processor that is running
the X process?  I don't see how this setup is different than when I run X
-query from my OSX machine...  I think flash works then just fine.

Any ideas?
Thanks,
-Shawn
