I believe there is a work in progress for a Mandrake iMac(tm), all though
the website(http://www.imandrake.com) seems to link back to the 
linux-mandrake homepage currently. There are several PPC compiled
linux distributions in various stages of development.

 I'm a Mac nut, and I've heard that linux can be installed on a Mac.
 True? I attended the Mac expo in New York today, but the nerds running the
 booth wouldn't talk to me. They were so deep in conversation with other
 nerds, having a war about which Linux was best.

I heard it put best just this morning actually. Yellow Dog Linux is the
RedHat for Macs and Black Lab Linux is to Yellow Dog as Mandrake is to
RedHat.

 I don't think that there is a Mandrake version for Macs, but there is
 a Linux for Macs. Depends on what type of Mac you have as to which
 Linux you need.

 There is one for old Macs (M68k) and one for Power Macs (???) too.
