Giving New Life to Old Macs With Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| If you've run older PowerPC-based Macs in your businesses you may be
| wondering what to do with them now that Apple has made the transition to
| Intel, and the G3, G4 and G5 processors are beginning to show their age.
|
| One possibility is to scrap OS X, and turn the machines into servers (or
| workstations) running Linux. Several distros run on PowerPC Macs, including
| familiar names like Ubuntu and OpenSUSE, as well as one that is probably less
| familiar: Yellow Dog Linux (YDL).
|
| YDL is a distro based on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux/CentOS core.
