I've got a borrowed Power PC 750 (400 MHz, 128M) for the summer and of 
course would like to try to run linux on it.  It has OS X 10.3 on it and 
lots of software that I don't want to lose so I'm thinking live cd or 
partition & dual boot.

I tried the old Ubuntu 5.1 live cd for mac that Jake handed out a long 
time ago.  It does boot, but X11 is so slow its unusable.  The command 
shell console is slow too, but it works.  Haven't found the HPFS support 
yet and can't mount the hard drive.

What are my options?  Debian?  Yellow Dog?  A different live cd?  Has 
anyone done this on an older PPC?  Any suggestions?

TIA.
-Jamie
