I would like to use my old PPC Mac Mini as a media server. Ideally I
would like to boot it with some sort of barebones Linux distro from an
external firewire (or USB2) drive. That way the Mac OS X install on the
main disk will remain untouched. I would like to run Slimserver, Firefly
DAAP Server, a UPnP server, and some sort of video server for my DVD
ISOs. My questions:

1) Can you boot linux from an external firewire drive without messing
with OSX on a PPC Mac Mini?
2) If yes, could anyone recommend a good light distro?
3) Could anyone recommend some sort of server that will work for DVD
ISOs?

TIA,

Nikhil
