    I prefer mandrake on the PC, but for the PPC patform Yellow Dog now suports (sort of) 64bit architecture. (Ooh Ahh).

    Given the choice I'd go with Yellow Dog. Good to see Mandrake is keeping up with updates for mac though. I'd love to see their Live CD with PPC support (if that's even do-able)

    why would I use Linux when there's Mac OS X pre-installed

    That's just what I was thinking. =)

    I mean I love Linux and all, but there's no way I'm going to take OSX off my Mac! Now, replacing Windows is a different story...
