Re: Why

if your ever look at buying a new computer to put linux on you may look at
buying an apple. the LinuxPPC group has declared their distribution to be the
easiest to install version of linux. I installed it on my PowerMac 8600
with no problems. I have heard many great things about Corel Linux aswell,
but I havn't had the opportunity to install it yet. good luck, and don't
turn to the dark side.

I have read all kinds of "how to's" and I am missing something because I have tried to install THREE versions of Linux and can't get any to work (on my new $2300 paperweight of a laptop).
