PPC Linux


[Log in to get rid of this advertisement]
I installed Yellow Dog Linux 2.1 on one of the imacs at my school. They use Mac OS 9. The imac has about 64 ram and between 500-600mhz. Yellow Dog defaults to kde and I think only comes with KDE. KDE runs very slow on this mac and even simple apps take forever to load. Does anyone have any suggestions for getting a speed increase. Anyone experienced with PPC linux? Know any good linux ppc sites?

Thanks

well, not exactly a linux ppc site, but visit window managers for x (http://www.plig.org/xwinman) i's a site where you can d/l window managers, once d/led, compile/install it and find the command to invoke it, then type echo exec *wm invoke command* ~/.Xclients-default, then startx, and you should be in your new window manager, hope this helps, cheers, oh yes, yellow dog should have gnome installed as well
