Hi and thanks for looking at this post. I use a mac ppc with a 64 bit dual processor. Just dual booted ubuntu Edgy, using the alternate iso down load from the ubuntu offiicial Website. ‘For any one with coolling fan problem on a ppc 64 bit the alternate iso Ubuntu Edgy down load, will solve that problem from the install’. Cool! Now I want to install and run a Houdini from a down load from the official sidefx site / services / drop down menu /. I don't know what version of houdini will work, if any! Any idea's? Also will be interested in any alternate suggestions on simply running houdini on a ppc 64bit mac on a different O.S?
Thanks for taking the time to read through my thinking on the virtual / virtual.

Hi,

You need a x86 CPU to run Houdini so you're out of luck.

Cheers!

Yeah! I thought that was case, I tried, I learned and annoyed a lot of ubuntu forum users along the way. Thanks for the info! I really don't want to buy a pc but at least i can use a free os, yours sincerely…
