I would like to here your experience with gentoo-PPClive.  I tried
running it and it booted O.K. to command line but I could never get the
graphical interface to work.

>From what I understand the normal gentoo installation compiles
everything from source so although it might be faster, it could require
some time getting it going.  My experience with compiling from source
with Fink on OSX is that it can sometimes take hours to compile some
code.  I left my ibook running all night once before it completed
compiling some code and I still had problems getting the software
running properly.

I have been pretty happy with YDL 3.0 on my iBook.  I recently installed
Mandrake 9.1 on my Athlon desktop (previously running Red Hat almost
exclusively) and I am actually impressed with some of Mandrakes
features.  I tried to migrate to RedHat 9.0 but it has been freezing up
on me everytime I try running it.  I may give Mandrake 9.1 PPC a try on
my iBook just for kicks.
