<pre wrap="">Thanks, SuSe is a good product, but its PPC version lags behind its
intel version. Suse PPC 7.3 (the latest version) is more than a year
old and doesn't support the ATI Radeon card and some other important
functionalities. I've had equally lousy luck with YellowDog and
Manndrake. Debian's my last resort.

All I know is I've seen some version of SuSE running on a Power Mac. It
was pretty cool in that it looked just like SuSE running on my PC at the
time.

<pre wrap="">I'd like to install Debian Woody on my OldWorld PowerMac -- a beige
desktop G3/300 with 768 meg RAM, which I upgraded with an XLR8 ZIF to a
G4/500.
I'd like to run OSX and OS 9 on the same hard drive as Linux. You Mac
folks will remember that, with the beige G3s, OSX must be installed in
the first partition of the hard drive, and that first partition must be
less than 8 gigs in size.
My hard drive is EIDE, and about 28 gigs. Using OSX Disk Utility, I
created a first partition of 7.9 gigs in HFS+ for OSX; a second
partition of 11 gigs in HFS+ for OS9; a third, small partition of just
32 megs in HFS to run BootX; then a fourth Swap partition of 256 megs

Debian begins to install fine, but then can't find or create any Linux
partitions. I belatedly discovered that using Apple Disk Utility for
partitioning is a bad idea, and Debian will apparently not recognize
