Linux on your PowerPC based Mac (and other non-Mac hardware)

Postby Antony » Wed 13 Dec, 2006 7:33 am

penguinppc.org, a website dedicated to Linux (kernel) running on Power or PowerPC processors.

This page provides a list of Linux PowerPC distributions and the hardware that work for them. Both 32-bit PowerPC and 64-bit PowerPC distributions were mentioned.

If you have an old PowerPC-based Mac that's not fast enough to run Mac OS X at satisfactory speed, you might want to install Linux to it.

Although Power Mac (formally Power Macintosh) is the main PPC Linux environment, penguinppc.org also covers other less-well-known hardware that uses Power or PowerPC processors such as AmigaOne, CHRP, PReP.
