The eMacs were sold to the general public in the UK - maybe they were

Apple; I figured they would just try to sell me a new (retail, full
price) copy of OS X, or try

I found one forum posting from a person who said that he tried several
distros and that OpenSUSE was the only one that worked... so I checked
out the OpenSUSE site, but their PowerPC distros are only available in

Hi folks,
I have an old eMac that I'd like to put back into service. It's taking
up space, and I can't bear to part with it, so why not make use of it?

Thanks for the into. I have Ubuntu installed on a PC and it couldn't

I checked out some Linux forums and found a lot of horror stories from
folks who tried to install YDL, Fedora, and Debian on their eMacs. The
universal theme from each story was that the install seemed to go
well, and then when the install was complete, the screen went black
and that was it. I
