Linux 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.

YDL != the only linux

hmm yellowdog. a lot of mac users use that, but lets not forget their are different distros for mac as well... Mandrake, Gentoo, Debian, slackintosh.... I doubt all of them are up to par with Gentoo when it comes to the g5. YellowDog does only PPC solutions. So obviously theyre going to have an edge. Other distros on linux might be their might not. So its fair to say you cant judge the linux envoirnment on PPC untill you tried different versions. Mandrake barely put g3 optimizations into its latest distro mind you @_@, and its only 9.1. Why do i feel always that macs get jipped lol.
