Red Faction?
I recently dug an old copy of Red Faction (the original) for Mac. Problem is, it requires Classic to install, and all my Macs are Intels running Leopard. There is a patch available that makes it compatible with OS X, but I've yet to find anything that will install it in X (ala StarCraft's OS X installer).
Do any of you have any hints on how to get this working on my MacBook (or better yet, my Mac Pro) that doesn't require me to format and somehow get Classic working on Intel hardware?

Re: Red Faction?
You won't get Classic working on Intel hardware, so don't bother trying.
You might be able to find a relatively inexpensive PPC mac somewhere, though...

Re: Red Faction?
I loved that game!! However there never was an OS X installer like the starcraft one you speak of. Best bet in my opinion would be to pick up an old G3 and install it, then copy it over the network.
SlackWare Linux.
Because it just works.
