Mac User Completley: Completley New to Linux! HELP!
 

Hi!
How you guys doin? Well I have been bored with my system latley and I thought I'de pice it up by slapping Linux in it. Now I am a completley new User. I have used Mac OS X for a while now...but i doubt that helps any. Ok, can u guys give me some advice? I am running this system:

iBook 500mhz
640 ram
10 gig internal hd
60 gig external fireiwre hd

What is the best linux distro that is easy to use and best to set up. Also i want to have a dual boot but i only have 1 hd and i want to still keep my mac os. i plan on doing a clean instal of everything. but please tell me the best distro to get and were to download it from.

Thnx a million!

see here for best distros u can download from www.linuxiso.org

Yellow Dog Linux is a Red Hat distro specifically tailored to Apple PPC hardware. I have it dual booted with a G4 mini-tower, and can recommend it for a smooth install. But be prepared: read up on yaboot and how to dual boot using Open Firmware. Wipe your drive and leave x MBs as free space for Linux. Install OSX. Boot from the YDL CD, and rock on.
