So, are any of you doing any Linux on PowerPC?  Someone gave me an old 2Ghz PowerMac G5 (one of the big full tower aluminum ones that was about $3000+ back when it was new), with 3 GB of memory, and a 1TB hard drive.  It works great/has nothing wrong with it - not even a scratch on the exterior.  It looks like Debian or Yellowdog seem to be the main options for PPC these days...  this thing may be my weekend experiment :)
