OK, but if my image is for Mac OS X PPC, and the target machine is Debian x86, will the image I copy to it even start up?

Thanks to all who responded. I suppose my confusion had something to do with the different conceptual bases underlying Unices, on the one hand, and Squeak, on the other. Files vs. all-the-way-down objects. And I'm very unused to being able to get away with thinking in terms of the abstraction rather than the implementation and having things "just work."
Again, thanks.
