That leaves me with YellowDog and Debian Linux, as far as I know, as choices to install on a Mac.[CLIP]
I'm primarily a Mac user, though I run Linux on a PC. I have done a little research regarding Linux for the PPC and have found a lot more than I ever expected. Most of them support only the PCI bus Macintoshs--I think only one, or maybe two, supports the older NuBus PPC Mac.
For NuBus, check the following:
http://www.mklinux.org/
http://nubus-pmac.sourceforge.net/
For PCI bus, check the following:
Gentoo.org, SuSE.com, and variety of others that support PPC.
I do have RedHat installed on my Titanium G4 laptop using VirtualPC. However, VirtualPC is not terribly fast and RedHat with KDE is slow (compared to Windows 200 Pro which I also have installed) making the combination a poor performer. I've also played with Knoppix linux under VirtualPC--again, not a very good performer.
I've never run any of these, nor have I seen any of them running, however, I am keeping my eyes open for a hand-me-down PCI bus Mac that I could set up with Linux.
