Well, it's the same GUI. The binaries are recompiled, the graphics are the same. Yellow Dog Linux is a very good version, and compares directly to Red Hat as that is what it is based on. Suse and Mandrake are both available for PPC. The differences between Red Hat (Yellow Dog) Suse and Mandrake have to do with the installers and where certain things are stored. Other than that, they will look and feel almost identical.
I have an impression that Red Hat goes through frequent new builds. Is this true of the PPC versions?
Also, (Don't laugh at my naivete) is Apple's processor going to be PPC much longer? Does the G5 and IBM's possible ongoing collaboration herald anything new on this front?
I've heard OS X described as the best performing Unix/Linux GUI ever developed.
