Eight Distros a Week: Debian 4.0
,----[ Quote ]
| I run Debian on all my Macintosh PowerPC machines for two basic reasons.
| First, because it works flawlessly on the hardware, and secondly — and
| probably more importantly — while Debian developers seem to be on top of just
| about every possible personal-computing architecture on this planet, they
| also have the foresight to recognize that there is a whole armada of
| PowerPC-based Macs (especially G3s) that have been abandoned by Apple —
| thanks a lot, Steve — and the G3/G4 family (shoot, even earlier PowerPCs) are
| going to need a distro that allows them to extend their already lenghty
| longevity.

| In MaQuotec circles — or more specifically, in those Mac circles where
| GNU/Linux is spoken — there are references to the types of machines
| with PowerPC processors being “Old World” and “New World.”

| And when you can’t use the latest 10-point-whatever on your machine,
| the solution is to switch to GNU/Linux.

| Earlier in a now-buried thread, Planet Mac/Apple Core a.k.a.
| "AppleWorld" member, Davin a.k.a. "Prey", asked if any of the
| companies running Linux on Apple PowerPC Macintosh Computers were
| relevant. So to answer that question I got a list of 100 of the
| many companies that are running one particular distribution of PPC
| Linux, Yellow Dog Linux in order to answer that question.
