Hey, I didn't feel any mud thrown :-)

On the contrary, I found your additional comments quite supporting of my 
own explanations.

I do admit, that reading my own text, it seems as if we're doomed for 
using PPC. Luckily the truth is less gloomy: quite a lot of programs 
currently are mature enough to have dealt with endian issues.

So my last word on this would be: go out and try the source rpms you're 
interested in, but always first test them with data that can safely be 
wrecked or destroyed. (Like data that you just backed up before, or 
created for the purpose of testing only).

So there I go. I shut up now as well ;-)

Cheers
