RS6000 7025-F40 - Looking for a Linux Distro
Does anyone have a recommendation on which Linux distro will work with my RS6000, and if there are any free distro's? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, Mike, and welcome to LQ!
I'll start with the easy question- If you can find it here, it's free. Just download, burn the image to CD, boot from CD and install. The CPU on the RS/6000 7025-F40 only ranged from 133-233MHz. That's pretty slow in today's world. The only suggestion I have is to try a light-weight distro like DSL or Puppy. Good luck! |
Debian would be the best bet imho... There aren't a whole lot of Distros that are still ported to PowerPC.
You could check Distrowatch for other PPC ooptions. From the Debian install guide.. http://www.debian.org/releases/stabl.../index.html.en Quote:
