Why Why Why....Why do you run linuxppc???
A great Linux box.
We have NT, Novell, a Citrix server, Mac 9.04, and one LinuxPPC. And do you know what??? The LinuxPPC box runs better then them all!!! We have about 50 users using the network and that's not including our WAN. And the G3 233MHZ Mac out does them all. I have 128 MB of ram, 80 Gigs of disk space, and runs LinuxPPC 2000. And I never ever had a problem with the install. Never!!!
I have only 2 crashes with the box since I put it up. It's almost two years now.....The NT box restarts weekly.
I don't use the GUI on the linux box...WHY would you??? I only want great speed and access time. I want my performance, man!!! We use a ton of connections and it still can take more....
And now for MacOS X...We will upgrade our macs, when the full version comes out. But that's for workstations....It's simple for them....
But for networking our company...LinuxPPC will still be there.
SO what I'm trying to say....
If your only want a workstation then run MacOS X..
If you want networking with better performence...
Run LinuxPPC or Intel...Because you don't need a GUI......plus shell scripts with cron really run the system...I just sit back and watch.......
-Knowing them all really got me my 6 a year...;)

Well for sometime time now Power PC have been put away into the closet. Yes there were early version of Linux for Power PC(MAC), but nothing worth the hassle. I belive LinuxPPC 2000 and YellowDog Linux really changed things for the Mac. And they really use Red Hat. I have only one other main line option and thats Corel. I have installed 3 or 4 LinuxPPC servers and they all run LinuxPPC 2000. And to me I don't care if I have many different types to choose, I just want one that works and is very stable for my Macs. And I've done a few Intel with running all Red Hat. My only question is this...Can the other guys make it better??? Because you can always recompile the kernel.........
