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.

I tried it two months ago and after it not working on the ibook 600's cause the install screen was set weird and my emac was not a supported hardware I installed it on an ibook 700mhz. It took a while and had lots of problems with the install as I stupidly ticked up date itself after install and of course it didnt work.
Had lots of hassles with it up dating, finially got it all working and that was it. It looks so boring and runs around the same speed as the panther version I had at the time and comes with so few apps I just didnt think it was worth using. I would rather build a server from a old pc than a mac as the macs are worth using even in OS 9 where as the pc's after 4-5 years are dead in the water.
I dont know possibly if it had a good mail program, apple remote desktop, Microsoft office and a rivial to itunes i would start to think about it.
Im hooked on osx and i dont think im gonna go back to YDL as it just didnt cut it for me.
