Hi again,
I have experimented with Linux PPC in it's latest form & bought the
boxed set - my experience was less than satisfactory, but on the other
hand, Yellow Dog Linux 2.0 is a vast improvement & quite Mac OS like to
install - it runs quite a bit faster than Linux PPC on the machines I have
tested it with, so if people are thinking about moving to Linux (like I
will be in the near future), try a few Linux distributions, they're quite
different.
Bye for now, Terry Allen
