The 64-bit release is being dubbed 'Y-HPC' and is scheduled to be released along with the new 32-bit Yellow Dog 4 at the end of May."

    why would anyone with a g5 who's already running os x want to run yellow dog linux? (serious question.)

    Remember a few days ago when /. ran the story about Linux on the iPod? It isn't a matter of WHY anyone with a G5 would want to use Linux on their hardware. It is because they CAN. Just like running Linux on a dead Badger.
