I have a 700 MHz G4 eMac that I just installed Ubuntu 9.10 on.
I've been reading about Ubuntu but I thought anything past 6.01 or
so needed to be on an intel machine? Maybe I misread something?

although I personally recommend yellowdog Linux
(www.yellowdoglinux.com) with the caveat that I haven't used it for
a while and I just checked their website and it seems it is now
maintained by a different company so I'm not quite sure what's going
on there.
It doesn't seem like it's maintained at all. I just went looking and
many of the mirrors had the ydl directory but nothing in it.
I was trying to run the software installer on my YDL 5 system and it
couldn't find the distro files, again the ydl folder was there but
nothing else. The company's web page links to those pages with nothing.
The YDL 5 install I have is perhaps the buggiest linux I've tried. And
my B&W G3 isn't supported on YDL 6.
