    Ciao Victor Ramiro, nel tuo messaggio dicevi:

    As for now I know of two very good looking livecds on PPC:

    Gentoo (www.gentoo.org)

    Rocklinux
    (http://iso.rocklinux.de/rock-ftp/unofficial/fake/livecd-powerpc-604e-rev4860.iso)

    I don't remember the exact link for the former, for the latter just type
    "startx" at the prompt when the system has booted.
    It has got a very nice KDE desktop with everything you could ever need.

    Anyway, just insert the cd, reboot and keep the "c" key pressed.
