    I think this: Linux neptune 2.6.7-gentoo #2 Sat Jun 19 02:32:58 MST
    2004 ppc 740/750 iMac,1 GNU/Linux

    And this:

    Linux version 2.6.7-gentoo (root@neptune) (gcc version 3.3.3 (Gentoo
    Linux 3.3.3_pre20040408-r1)) #2 Sat Jun 19 02:32:58 MST 2004

    Speak for themselves, though if you are installing on a m68k chip, no
    matter WHAT you choose to install is going to be "fun". Gentoo is a
    long install process, but it is worth the effort. I run gentoo on
    EVERYTHING, x86, ppc, timex ;) , you name it. Whatever you choose,
    happy hacking. :)
