Yes. Some years back there was a PPC version of RR for linux, but it was
dropped, around about version 2, I think, due to tiny demand. I remember
because that was shortly after I installed PPC linux on my Mac in order
to try it out.

Promising. And not too bad on OSX where it originates, but the Windows
port was somewhat buggy when I ran it on XP here.

If nothing else it allows old Photoshoppers such as I a chance at a
comparative evaluation without years of study. Looking at GimpShop I
quickly came to the conclusion that Photoshop features I use all the
time don't appear to have an equivalent. Which was disappointing. Course
I may not have looked hard enough - I have to do some work occasionally,
ain't life cruel? But I'm keeping an eye on the Gimp.
