Getting your distribution
This section is for pointers to the LinuxPPC and MkLinux distributions, along with a few others.
Since MkLinux DR3 is now in full release status, getting it is slightly different than from before:
Everything is now availible at:
ftp://ftp.mklinux.apple.com/pub/DR3
For a list of mirror sites, download at:
ftp://ftp.mklinux.apple.com/pub/Mirrors
Don't forget to read the README_DR3; among other things it contains very useful instructions regarding installation. To obtain a distribution of Mklinux on cd refer to http://www.ptf.com/

The Debian installation for the PowerPC is a real distribution rather than the unofficial RedHat derivative from linuxppc.org. As a result the Debian installation is more modern.

Yellow Dog Linux can be purchased on cd from http://www.yellowdoglinux.com/ or downloaded from ftp://ftp.yellowdoglinux.org/.
Yellow Dog Linux is an alternative to other RedHat-based PowerPC Linux distros, it features tested and well designed packages to make up a robust and stable server for the internet or intranet.
It also can be used for workstations, and it includes populuar graphical workstation software like the GIMP, GNOME, KDE, xemacs and many others.
