My first experience with Linux on a PPC machine was Pegasos PPC and Debian. Last weekend I upgraded my Cube G4 450 Mhz and with a blazingly fast 120 GB 7200 RPM WD drive (for just $58!) to replace the default (and extremely slow) 20 GB Maxtor IDE drive. In this vast drive space, there is enough room for more than one operating system, so I decided to install Yellow Dog Linux 3.0 (and then upgrade to 3.0.1 via APT) as an addition to Mac OS X 10.3 Panther. Read more for my impressions of YDL 3.0.1 and check some screenshots too.

Champion Server from waaaay long ago was the only version of Linux that would install and run okay on any computer I owned, PC included. Back then I had tried Red Hat 5.1 and while it installed, X was wacky (I was very very new and didn't know a thing about text editing config files), Champion Server installed on my iMac just fine and configured X perfectly (almost perfectly, it was unaccelerated so it was slow, but everything else was right, resolution, colour depth, etc) and I was online ta boot. I liked it, Enlightment + Gnome (1.x) was slow, but it ran. I remember the kernel was some hacked 2.2 release for USB support, minimal at that, just to get the keyboard and mouse to work. Also I recall a distro that was called, straight forward enough, LinuxPPC. What happened to them? Once my G5 comes in I plan on buying a copy of YDL from them.
