Linux 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.

Reinstall?

This may sound silly but try to reinstall it fresh and see if some of the problems arise again.

The reason I say this is if I reinstall WindowsXP, you sometimes get the feeling the install didn't go so well.

The same in redhat 9, I just reinstalled and KDE actually feels slower than usual, weird.

Also about 3D graphics support I thought YDL advertised that they had full 3D support in YDL 3.0, but I guess it is only some cards, according to this page.
