  YellowDogLinux  Popular
Description: Linux on PPC hardware? Yes. Yellow Dog Linux is the only Linux Distribution built specifically to fit the PowerPC hardware architecture most commonly used in Apple's Macintosh computers.


Admittedly, you have to be 'special' to run Linux on a Mac, but Linux users are special people aren't we? We like things a certain way. Working.


All jesting aside Macintosh computers are known for being reliable and fast. Just like Linux. Like peanut butter and chocolate they're better together. And going together they do very easily. Where most Linux installations have to probe for all kinds of hardware configurations 'the dog' only has to deal with Apple's hardware and does so quite nicely.


Based on Redhat's RPM Linux distribution running Yellow Dog (or YDL) is familiar territory for Linux heads, many of whom opt to dual boot their Macs.
