Re: Best Linux distro for G5 mac?

WONDERFUL! This debian install is hitting the dirt in as long as it takes to download the dvd images. Thank you so very much for pointing me in the right direction! I've always had luck using bootx with my old world mac, even including the new 2.6 kernels and hopefully this will work out great! I'll get back in touch later.

But thanks again!

Frank

The newest Yellow Dog isn't free to download, but I'm thinking that I might just have to part with the money!

5.0.0 was released for the PS3. DVD distribution. Free mirrors quickly followed.

5.0.1 was released for Macs shortly thereafter. Initially DVD distribution, but CD distribution followed. Free mirrors quickly followed.

5.0.2 was released in one unified distribution for Macs, for the PS3 and for several current and future IBM PPC products. DVD distribution, so far. Free mirrors followed within two weeks.

I'm running 5.0.2 on my Mac Mini, dual boot with MacOS 10.4.10. 5.0.2 replaced a prior 5.0.1 installation. Both were good, marred only by an outdated version of Firefox.

I've installed from both the DVD and CD distributions. All downloaded from Oregon State's mirrors.

The distrubutions for Macs support G3, G4 and G5, and they may support "Old World" Macs, too, if BootX is used instead of YABoot.

Free, just for the time to download them.
