Thanks for the link.  Seems like they came to the same conclusions I  
did:

<quote>
Product: Yellow Dog Linux 3.0
   ...
Verdict: the best desktop Linux distro for  Mac, but you should  
probably be running Mac OS X (possibly with the help of  XPostFacto, if  
you have an older machine) and Apple's X11 instead.

Product: LinuxPPC Live
   ...
Verdict: lame, but we'd like to see a fully-loaded version that runs  
from the Mac desktop like this. When we checked in May 2003,  the site  
seemed to be down completely.

Product: Gentoo "Live CD" for PPC
   ...
Verdict: Not the sort of "live CD" we were  hoping for -- but it's a  
start. We're still looking for a CD able to boot a Mac  that can be  
used to explore a full-featured Linux distro with a minimum of  hassle  
and without requiring anything to be written to disc -- something like  
"Knoppix  Linux 3.2" is on the x86 side.

Know of any?
