[PD] Linux - mac

[Lorenz Schori]

hi josue

i think you should post your question to a linux/ppc list like debian- 
powerpc or perhaps one in your mother language because you will  
likely need more specific help than we can provide here.
some starting hints:
- you will have more troubles to get linux running properly on  
powerpc than on pc. especially wlan and powermanagement in some  
powerbooks is not working. if you just want to run pd try one of the  
osx packages from miller, hans or james. if you just want to play  
with linux and see if you like it just try a live cd.
- there are different distributions. i recommand ubuntu because it is  
very user/beginner friendly (http://www.ubuntulinux.org/). there is  
the ppc only yellow dog linux distribution. i did not tried it until  
yet. (http://www.yellowdoglinux.com/)
- check out the different linux/ppc websites: http://penguinppc.org/,  
http://ppcnerds.org/

cheers
