Yellow Dog Linux is a powerful Linux operating system designed specifically for PowerPC users. It is the premier operating system for PowerPC, providing a reliable and efficient computing experience.
Yellow Dog Linux v4.1 merges the preferred desktops, KDE and Gnome, with the latest sound and graphic card support, the latest kernels, and stable compilers for code development. It also provides foundation applications and servers crucial to any modern Linux operating system for database, email, web, and network services.
With Apple moving to Intel, the question of what to do with your PowerMac arises. Yellow Dog Linux offers a solution-faster, more stable, and far more efficient as a desktop OS. It is a suitable replacement (not an alternative) to OSX. It breathes new life into your PowerPC G3 and G4; providing it with a second chance as a personal workstation or a new role as a web, email, or data server.
What about testing how your G5 runs on Linux? With Yellow Dog Linux, you may dual-boot both operating systems or choose to run Yellow Dog Linux individually. By doing so, you'll get the benefit of the many included, accessible, and commercial applications.
