Okay, I've been out of the loop for a while. My PC went kaput and I picked up a used Powermac G4 MDD with the dual processor and whatnot. I've been running it with OSX and have gotten by alright. Right now I am thinking about dual booting this bugger for now until I can get everything set up or end up selling the G4 to get a PC again.
Im wondering what experience people have had outside of no flash 9 or official drivers for the ppc nvidia card. I can get by without that.
And since it is in the distro thread...
Any distro's support better than the other? Right now I am burning a Debian disk to check that out.
Yellow Dog is the best for PPC, as far as I know. I tried Slackintosh since I'm a Slack user on x86, but it just wasn't the same. Not sure about Debian.
