I have a bunch of QS20 blades in a BladeCenter, they're running the latest yellow dog linux, but I'd like to if there's a better choice?

This is a home box purely for fun, so I can't afford to buy something.

wow, really nice cluster/machines.
I suppose there isn't a great choice 'cause distributions support for CellBE is targeted to PS3 machines.

My preferred gnu/linux distro, the CRUX PPC, doesn't support Cell based (thay don't have one).
