Re: Why

i have heard of there being probems running linuxppc on new macs, but on the 8600 in runs perfectly (well close to). The buggiest thing that i ran accross was messing in the open firmware (my 8600 had old firmware), but bootx came along and i never had to deal with that again. With bootx a person

Re: Why

i agree that linux makes a great replacement for NT but that doesn't mean that people are trying to move it into win9X world. Corel seems to be pushing it that way. Red hat and Mandrake are now being sold on shelves right next to win9X. I think that there is a push to move it into the home user

Re: Why

if your ever look at buying a new computer to put linux on you may look at buying an apple. the LinuxPPC group has declared their distribution to be the easiest to install version of linux. I installed it on my PowerMac 8600 with no problems. I have heard many great things about Corel Linux
