For the people who are using linux on a PPC computer, which distro do you use? Yellowdog? Fedora? What? Why? Any experience with Crux-PPC <http://www.cruxppc.org/> ?? Here's why:
I'm involved with a nonprofit that takes donations of (mostly pc) computers, refurbishes them, and gives them to people who can't afford one, and to nonprofits. Mostly we get PC's, wipe the drives and install some version of linux. But... Sometimes we get old G3 iMacs. Sometimes the HD is gone, but we've got spare drives sitting around. I'm not sure of the legality of installing OS X or 9 willy-nilly on these boxes, and some of them are a bit problematical for general-use due to a lack of a modern browser. With some pc's, we install Quimo <http://www.qimo4kids.com/> , an operating system designed for kids to use. I'd like to come up with a good kids system for the G3, and CruxPPC sounds like it's still active and lightweight. The gCompris<http://gcompris.net/-en->games would be a good starting point. Is there anyone around that can help? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
