A version of YDL is still kicking around which will run on an ANS (Apple
Network Server ... PPC 604e).

That’s pretty cool, I didn’t know YDL was still kicking around. 

Hmm, might drag the old Powerbook G4 off the shelf and give it a shot, if I can 
find the power brick.

I want to set up my G5 to run Linux

[GLT]

I've looked around a little on the Web for how to set up a PowerMac G5 with 
Linux, but could use suggestions/advice--*NOT* mere pointers to information 
sources--and maybe a small amount of help by Email or phone (within the 
USA). (I'm a long-time Mac user and know a little about Linux too, so I 
shouldn't need much help by email or phone.)

Thanks!

Re: I want to set up my G5 to run Linux

[Jesse]

I've actually done it, my last 2 systems were a g5 and a g4..   I have 
since updated to an intel Mac ( my last systems were stolen) but I still have 
the Slackintosh ISO's that are more secure on those machine as opposed to 
leopard   And I could walk you thru it also I just wish I had a g5 
again, they are so dang fast...   Hmmm hmmm AltiVec velocity engines  I 
still would rather watch movies and listen to my tunes on one of those instead. 
If you interested in those I could make a torrent for you and get you a hash to 
make sure it came thru properly for you

Re: I want to set up my G5 to run Linux

[Eric Volker]

I’m sorry I can’t really provide any specific advice, except to say that I
had a lot of problems setting up Linux on my G5 back in the day. I’d been
using Linux since the 90’s and had had a pretty good experience with
LinuxPPC on my old Motorola Starmax 5500, so I thought I’d try it out on my
dual 1.8GHz G5. I tried Ubuntu (back when there was an officially supported
PPC version) and a few other distros, and had nothing but problems -
particularly with the system fans. Since PPCs are now a small niche market,
I doubt the situation has improved. By all means try it out, but adjust
your expectations accordingly.
