These days, there's one that goes into its own partition/slice: yaboot.

For whatever reason, on my G3 iBook2, nothing had to be tweaked, here.

This is something I had to hand-hack into one of the init scripts at the
time I disabled Ubuntu's gnome-session startup, installed Windows Maker,
and set that as the default window manager:  There's a utility you
invoke to assign the 2nd and 3rd mouse button functions to F11 and F12,
respectively.

The other thing is that software suspend didn't work, out of the box.
(I haven't fix this, yet.)
