Now if only we could easily buy parts and build them cheap in our basements. " And PPC choices already include SuSE, LinuxPPC, Debian, NetBSD and more.

Now a Mas distrobution competitor? by bsquizzato · 2001-08-27 07:17 · Score: 0, Offtopic

Was there ever any other major Mac distrobution that was actually "main stream" except for Yellow Dog? I'm sure this will give some i386 (and whatever else mandrake supports) Mandrake users something to look forward to on their PPCs.
