I had tried it on LinuxPPC R4. Actually I did on MkLinux DR3 as well but moved on to linuxppc very soon after that.
LinuxPPC was, at the time much more stable and FASTER than MkLinux. I got rid of the linux side on my mac long time ago tho.
Impressions: I hadn't had the proper sound driver (there apparently was a commercial OSS that was working well in full duplex but only for a specific version of the kernel). pd compiled fine. And that's good because I'd have no idea how to make it compile well. The sound however was distorted. I had to scale my outputs by 0.01 to get a sine wave that yu hear in the demo patch. And I had the same problem with CSound...
Also I could put more oscilators in pd than MSP on the same machine (ppc 7200/120).
Hope this helps.
I would like to know i anyone actually runs audio on a Linux/PPC box that would make i worth getting back to linux and pd on a PPC.
