A couple of weeks ago TerraSoft released preliminary 64-bit ISO's of their flagship product, Yellow Dog Linux 3.0.1 (YDL), especially for owners of Apple's new G5 machines. I was pining for a chance to get an open source OS running in 64-bit mode so I quickly downloaded the three ISO's.

There are a lot of disadvantages to both at the present time... OS X suffers from a lack of a 64-bit ABI and userland... disadvantageous if you're considering using the G5 for a scientific modelling program...
And you can get the IBM xlc and xlf compilers (which you'll want for those mini-supercomputing projects) only for OS X ;-( (see http://www-306.ibm.com/software/awdtools/ccompilers/ and see also http://hpc.sourceforge.net/index2.php#ibm )
