Review: Some purists out there believe that the PowerPC processor (the processor used in Apple hardware) is superior to Intel's processors in performance. And though Linux has been optimized for Intel, there is a Linux distro made especially for the PowerPC processor that is worthy of your consideration: Yellow Dog Linux.

Yellow Dog is a port of Red Hat Linux for the PowerPC. Complete with the Anaconda installer, Yellow Dog Linux comes with the same great software that's found on any Linux distro. It's easy to set up and use, too. Just format the hard drive, answer a few questions and the installer takes care of the rest. Couldn't be easier!

If your old Mac is sitting around with a legacy operating system from Apple, give it new life by throwing Yellow Dog on it. Makes a great server or functions nicely as a stable and secure desktop. I use it on my blue and white iMac G3 and it makes the hardware really come alive.

Simply put, if you like Linux and own a Mac, then you need this software. Highly recommended.
