OK, I made it to general. Can Red Hat be run on a power mac?

[Unruly]

chances are, no. Unless RedHat released a PPC version of it. Check their website, and check that ppc linux link above. But there are more (and in some oppinions) better distros for ppc than RedHat.

Q: How many existentialists does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
A: Two. One to screw it in and one to observe how the lightbulb itself symbolizes a single incandescent beacon of subjective reality in a netherworld of endless absurdity reaching out toward a maudlin cosmos of nothingness.

Yeah. Redhat wouldn't be my first choice.
Let's see there's Yellow Dog and, of course, http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/biggrin.gif Debian!! http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/biggrin.gif

Between SuSE and Debian which is better for programing (perl, C++ and other languages).
