Both.  I have one that I downloaded but it does not work (i.e. it does 
not boot).  So, I'm looking for a new one.  The one I have is called 
knoppix-MiB-PPC-alpha-2e.iso.  I don't remember the site from which I 
downloaded it, but IIRC it was from a German mirror (i.e. domain ended 
in .de).  I've also been browsing around Gentoo's website.  Apparently, 
they have a LiveCD for the PPC.  While I can find several mentions of 
such a CD, I have yet to locate the isos.

The same things that I use Knoppix for on an x86 box - demonstrate 
linux without having to install it.  Or if I do need to install Linux, 
I use Knoppix to backup a Windows machine so that it can be restored to 
its pristine state:

I'd like to be able to do the same on a Mac.
