    Gentoo has a LiveCD or pick a closer mirror.

    I can't vouch for it though, I had their 1.4 LiveCD, but one of the Apple updates broke it and I haven't bothered to try again.

    I think the issue lies in the way that Macs use a bootstrap, rom etc. Installing Linux on x86 architecture is very different from doing it on a mac.

    It's because the releases are so close together. Gnome 2.8 was released just before Mandrake 10.1 community, there is no way it could be included.
