I've always had good luck with Yellow Dog. On x86 I use Mandrake, but if Yellow Dog were available for them I'd consider switching. Another possibilty is to run Darwin, but it's not pretty. The advantages are that it natively uses hfs+, and that it works with netinfo. I'd agree YDL is probably the best. -- Dana [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
