another linux on Mac question

[nathaniel]

I read up on the specs for the new Titanium Macintosh. very nice 17inch wide screen 1 inch tall. Would Redhat run on it or would the requirement for a 64bit cpu destry my dream of RH on a Mac?

the price is stoping me now :-(

Hmmm, #1 the new powerbook has a 15in screen.

#2 yes, it will run the various LinuxPPC's.

If you like RedHat as much as it looks like you do, try LinuxPPC 2000 Q4. It is basically RedHat ported to the PPC processor.

However, you should read all the details on the yaboot program. Make sure you understand what you are doing with it BEFORE you install it, as, it needs a 16MB HFS partition and several other things which I couldn't get working the last time I tried. I am going to try SuSE PPC, mainly because I like SuSE i386.

hope it helps

Is LinuxPPC 2000 Q4 a ported version of Redhat 6.1, 6.2 or 7.0?
