OS X is weird when it comes to speed. I know several people who are running it on the new iBooks (silver) with no complaints about speed. My girlfriend's older iMac-333 (288MB RAM) also runs it without a hitch, seemingly faster than my own machine. a B&W G3-350.
It's running on a separate UFS partition, which should be speedier, but I guess not. It's also pretty slow on my buddy's iMac-400.
As for Linux, I've only used Yellow Dog, Debian, and LinuxPPC on the PowerPC side. Debian is by far my favorite (I hate dealing with RPM's, I am not a Linux wizard and it's a nightmare to me.) Debian would be a good choice...but Darwin would be even better...
yes, for the.0000000001% of the population that are free software zealots)this is a very valid question. perhaps someday a company will market an OGG player for the 12 of you out there that use the format on a regular basis.
I can confirm there is a UNIX-like operating system for your architecture that has no "showstopper bugs," a coherent GUI, and support from major commercial software developers.
Unlike Mandrake and Suse, the vendor who provides this software is in excellent financial health, and its main focus is your architecture. Here's a link to more information.
Sorry, I leave the "funny" to comments that start with "Imagine a Beowulf cluster...", the "insightful" to "Micr0$0ft SuX0r$", and the "intelligent" to genii like you!
Pathetic AC! Your mission is to tremble with disgust at the pointlessness of your existence. This FP is belong to ME!
allow me to expound on this at length:
I know you like to mail bills. But have you ever noticed that no matter what mailbox you use, they always get where they must be? That's because of the amazing US postal service!!!
The US postal service likes it when you use as many mailboxes as possible. They feel tickled by this, and appreciate your contribution to their important work. So this is YOUR MISSION the next time your bills are due:
Electrical Bill: Drop in the mail slot by the grocery store.
Cable Bill: The huge blue behemoth right in front of the Post Office.
Gas Bill: In that small town 90 miles to your south, there's a mailbox in front of the Diamond Shamrock. It doesn't get used enough.
Telephone Bill: Put it in the "outgoing mail" on the receptionist's desk at work.
Water Bill: "EZ Postal Plus" next to Domino's Pizza has a mailbox too. Why not use it?
The US postal service will be bemused and charmed by your creative use of the mailboxes. And when your creditors receive bills that are continually postmarked from different places, they'll say, "Wow! This guy is a world traveler!" and AUTOMATICALLY DEDUCT 10% from all your future bills. Try it today! It really really works!
Look around you, folks. How many of you have sigs that refer to "karma", "ACs," getting "modded up" and the like? Has Slashdot become your hermetically sealed environment? Is it the filter through which you perceive reality? Has Slashdot become an empty game where you regurgitate earlier posts to get 'karma'?
Some of you might be surprised to learn that this "karma" has no value whatsoever!!! When Slashdot goes under (and don't worry, it will) you won't be able to exchange that "karma" for Denny's coupons, anime DVDs, or anything worth a shit!!!
And don't think there's any spiritual value either! Slashdot "karma" won't help you break the cycle of reincarnation, it won't get you "high", and it won't even win you friends at Magic: The Gathering tournaments!
Fellow Slashdotter, you have been deceived!!! You will not achieve immortality by posting "Imagine a Beowulf cluster of this!" or "Linux is really good for the desktop!" The only way you'll ever be remembered when this decrepit weblog tumbles into nothingness is to post something really FUCKED UP!!! I can't stress this enough!!!
Don't waste your time chasing the "karma" cap! Don't whine about your stories not being published when you know that the news on this site is randomly chosen by monkeys!!!
The only way you'll be remembered long after CmdrTaco returns to his old position as shift leader at Pizza Hut is by posting ABSOLUTE FREAKING MADNESS!!! Do it now!!! Do it often!!! And karma be damned!!!
I beat you to this joke! If you live in houston, you should come to the ubertoast (comedy troupe) show at theater new west. they have whole routine about ALF (including references to the saturday morning cartoon)
It's not that we're stupid, it's that we prefer WACKED-OUT BAT-SHIT NUTTY comments to the rehashed yawners you high-rated folks keep posting. Allow me to expound on this subject at length:

For a second, I thought you were going to obey what I wrote in my post. How foolish of me...
It's not just a great idea. It's the law.
