Linux on Mac: a POWER programmer's primer (IBM developerWorks)

[Posted January 26, 2004 by ris]

IBM developerWorks looks at Linux on the PowerPC. "For this article, I installed and evaluated four distributions of Linux for PowerPC machines: Debian, Knoppix, Yellow Dog, and Mandrake. All were installed and tested on a G4 iMac. I found two of the distributions to be well polished and easy to use, right on par with the best x86 Linux distributions; the other two I would have to describe as "not ready yet.""
