We've got an older Apple in our office running Yellow Dog with SPSS

we haven't done a comparison.
Given the basic structure of any *inx operating system I don't see why
Stata for linux won't work with Yellow Dog.
But since Stata does not distribute source code for any platform, what
are you going to do with an Intel-oriented Stata executable on a
PowerPC? Stata for Linux is Intel-specific. It will run on any flavor
of Linux, I imagine, as long as the hardware is Intel. But the
bigendian-littleendian issue arises when you go from Intel to PowerPC
or v.v. Without some sort of emulator, you cannot run an executable
compiled on the one chipset on the other.
