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.

Little flamebate here : MacOsX is probably the only Unix around which runs only on ONE platform
*ahem* Irix? AIX? Tru64 a.k.a OSF/1 a.k.a. Digital Unix? HP-UX? Virtually everyone selling Unix-derived operating systems sells them only in conjunction with the hardware platforms they sell.
Meanwhile, the kernel and userspace of Darwin run perfectly fine on x86. The components of OS X that aren't available on x86... aren't available on other Unix platforms either... frameworks like CoreFoundation, CoreAudio, Quicktime, etc. have no Unix equivalent
