I have several Macs. One has Linux PPC, and the other two have the newest versions of yellow dog. I recently acquired(for $100) an immaculate Powerbook 3400/200 w/128MB RAM, and a 3.5GB harddrive. It has CDROM, Floppy, and built-in ethernet and modem. Absolutely nothing wrong with this machine. Anyway enough about the good deal. I set-up a 750MB HFS partition and installed 8.1 with a couple apps I need for work. I want to install Linux on the rest. Has anyone tried it, and do you forsee any problems? I really need to know is is worth it to download the Mandrake PPC, or do I just need to stick my YellowDog 2.0 on there and be happy. If all goes well, this will become travel machine because My other laptop is just a P166 w/32MB RAM. It has only Linux installed on it's 1.2 GB HDD, and the floppy/CD are hotswap which I hate. I figure almost 20% faster, quadruple the RAM and almost 3 times the HDD space (not to mention the NIC and modem are integrated and I don't have to carry around PCI cards) will make this tons better for getting some work done. Thanx for any help, and lemme know what you think!
