Ubuntu, Yellow Dog Linux for PPC updated
Dust off those old iBooks and Powerbooks and give them new life with Linux. Earlier this week, Ubuntu released version 7.04 of their desktop and server distribution, called "Feisty Fawn." While version 6 was the last officially supported version of Ubuntu for PPC, there is a community-supported PPC version of Feisty Fawn that you can download here. Ubuntu is a free (as in speech and beer) download.Also, Yellow Dog Linux version 5.0.1 for PPC was made available in the Terra Soft store earlier this month, and the download mirrors will be availabe in a few weeks. For now, you can purchase YDL from Terra Soft in one of two bundles, priced at $99.95 and $49.95 respectively.

Ah, I can remember
that day when I first loaded Yellow Dog Linux (YDL) 3.0 onto one of my old Mac 4400's (a dull box of a machine if there
ever was one). KDE was poky and my single button ADB mouse made things less than fun, but there it was, my first foray
into Linux.
