It depends. First of all, not every distribution uses the same directory tree
layout (well, maybe the newest distros are now using the a common standard, but I
don't think that LinuxPPC 1999 Q3 already did). Then, LinuxPPC is based on RedHat
packages. This makes it possible to use at least all packages of other PPC
distros, which are also based on RedHat packages (for example Yellow Dog).
SuSE for example uses an other directory scheme (or at least an other handling of
config files). If you haven't got very complex SuSE packages, they should also run
within the LinuxPPC scheme. I have to admit that I don't know anything about
Mandrake.
