Lunix? LOL I take it you mean Linux. Nope, you can't. A Macintosh is very similar to Linux, but not enough that you can install the srcds on it. You might be able to install a version of Linux for Mac (such as Yellow Dog) and get it to work, but I can't say for sure.

Actually, you CAN install Linux on a mac, you just need the PPC version of the operating system. My buddy runs Gentoo linux-PPC on a dual G5 mac.

Yes I know you can, thats why I told him about Yellow Dog. What I said is you cannot install a Linux srcds on a Macintosh, which is what the OP asked. If he installed Linux on a Macintosh and then installed a Linux srcds, it might work. Hopefully rustedpc will give it a go and let us know the results.

SRCDS is a precompiled binary, it will only run on an x86 processor irregardless of the operating system your running, u can get emulators for mac to run x86 binaries, but if you could ever get it to run SRCDS, the preformance would not be good

I don't know about the 64, if I remeber correctly, my Commodore 128 had this really fast mode that would run at 2Mhz.....now that is blazing! There just weren't that many apps to utilize it.
