Hello Hello,
Someone just gave me 4 G3/G4 iMac's with OS 9 on them. I am not sure of the
specs yet, but I am interested to know if anyone has any experience with
Linux on these bad boys? I ran edUbuntu on a G3 years ago and it was
awful... I'm hoping the newer versions are better. Any thoughts?
I have had some experience with linux on PPC. just about all of them use the
dubs subsystem and depending on your specific logic board, may cause the system
to become unresponsive.
that aside, the best distribution is debian or ubuntu (though debian may have
better application support).
I know that for odd multiboot situations I use refit. But I can't remember
if its available on ppc or not.

Thanks Eric, I appreciate your help. I didn't know about the OpenSUSE
option. I will check that out first.
