Yellow Dog Linux...

Couple of Q's about YDL:

1) WARNING: THE FOLLOWING IS A CLASSIC MAC ATTACK!
I would like to install YDL on my Mac Performa 6360.  The only Q I have about it is if it compatible with a couple pieces of my hardware.  The parts in question are a Sonnet Crescendo G3 Processor upgrade for the L2 Cache slot and a genuin Comm slot II Apple ethernet card.

2) Is there any catch to Linux on a Mac?  Is it just like Linux on a PC?  Can I run the same stuff and do the same stuff with it as I could with a PC?  Can I set it up alone on the machine or do I have to have it in a dual boot?  <----(OK, so I cheated.  I said a "couple of Q's" and I throw in 60!    )

Thanx for any replies!!!!!

The main difference would be that you will not be able to run x86 binaries. You will either have to download PPC binaries of your applications or compile from source (if the source supports PPC). Of course everything that is included with YDL would be PPC but this would be a consideration you have to factor in for 3rd party stuff.
