Live CD for PPC?

An anonymous reader writes "After reading this article, I was pretty excited about trying an Ubuntu live CD on my Mac, because I've heard a lot about the distro. But it turns out the only live CD is for x86. Looking around for PPC live CD's that support modern hardware (like a G5) and demo modern versions of KDE and Gnome has proven fruitless so far. Does Slashdot know of any current projects that have released or are working on releasing a nice PPC live CD?"

Re:Ubuntu straight-to-disk worked fine for me..

The point of a LiveCD is that you don't need to put it on a partition of any sort, spare or not. Everything runs off CD or RAM disk.

I went looking too, a few weeks ago, and never had much luck.

Has Gentoo changed?

A couple of people have mentioned the gentoo live cd for PPC, but I'm comfused about that. I tried that once and all it seemed to be was enough of a command prompt to install to disk. Most of the standard commands were missing, and there certainly wasn't any GUI. Was I doing something wrong, or has the live CD come farther along since then? I don't want to waste my bandwidth downloading it if it hasn't changed any.
