Hello, I'm putting a 46GB IBM Deskstar in my gray&clear G4. If I want to dedicate a partition to linux, what distro would you people advise I use?

I heard SuSE is pretty good. You might want to check www.maximumlinux.com (http://www.maximumlinux.com) for an article they have on mac and linux.

The distro's I know of are: LinuxPPC, MkLinux, Debian, SuSE, and Rock. Check linuxppc.org. They have a good list. Also, the new version of LinuxPPC is supposed to come out soon, so for that, check linuxppc.com

I use LinuxPPC (2000 distro)
runs great. comes with everything i need.
stuff is outdated now, see about the 2001 distro.

Hi!

I'm new to many of Your expressions. Is distro another word for operating system?

distro is the distribution, such as debian, suse, linuxppc, or redhat.
