If you download PPC version there shouldn't be any problem. > If I go ahead and download it, will I have something that will run in > Wheezy on PPC? Or is this a wild goose chase? Aternatively, is there > any other way to acquire WebM? And will _it_ be useful on PPC? As far as I can remember using any Flash plugin caused the processor to go crazy and the fan to spin loudly. Sometimes it would freeze the browser to the extent that it wasn't usable. Now, that was a while ago. In the end I've given up and use "youtube-dl" if I'd like to download that video or "minitube" if I need to view it quickly. Remember that flash is only needed for the web player interface, not the video itself. P.S. 12" iBook G4 (2005) here.
