Subject: Linux on PowerPC

I've been reading up on Linux and the PowerPC platform. I'm not an =
Apple
user but I'm seriously considering a G5 within the next couple months. =
So I
was hoping someone on the list has experience with running Linux on
PowerPC....better yet would be a dual boot. I noticed the Yellowdog is
selling dual boot G5 (YDLinux & OSX). Then I was really happy to see =
that
Debian, Mandrake, and more support this platform.

Can anyone give me user experience? I don't want to buy a G5 if I can't
have a full multimedia desktop under Linux. I know I'll have everything
under OSX but I live in Linux land!!

Thanks for you time,
TJ
