Too bad there's not a MacLinux list on the MacLaunch server, there probably should be seeing as how popular Linux is getting to be. I have a PM 7500/200 and will be giving Yellowdog a try as soon as a bigger hard drive arrives from an ebay purchase. I've just been looking at the YD newbie mailing list, and seems that YD is not without some frustrating install problems. From what I've been able to gather, Mandrake is less problematic, and better developed. The YD mailing lists are at: http://lists.terrasoftsolutions.com/mailman/listinfo And here's a couple more links that might help: http://www.linuxlinks.com/ http://www.mandrakeuser.org/index.php Have fun, Ken -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
