Just replying to myself :-/
because I have a reply back from the AppleMac guy.
he said:
Zane,
No sure about the partitioning issue but I will look into it.
I recommend Yellow dog linux as this distribution is officially endorsed by Apple. Terra Soft Solutions are the only company that Apple allows to ship Apple hardware preinstalled with a non-Apple OS. That is you can purchase a new G5 with YDL, rather than OS X, pre-installed. In fact there are 64-bit versions of YDL specifically for G5's (PPC970). For more details see
