PowerMac G5 ;-P

Actually, does anyone know if it will it run Gentoo-PPC? It should, right?

Should do. The CPU (IBM PowerPC 970) is supported by gcc3, and the rest of the hardware seems to be pretty standard. Don't know about booting -- I guess it's the same as the G4s...


I was thinking about getting one, but then I heard that IBM will be releasing their own 970-based SMP workstations (Linux officially supported, although I guess it'll be SuSE) for similar prices, so I'm holding on for another few months... Would be nice to be able to put in a proper disk system, and also wouldn't have to pay for OS X that way.
