  Thanks for your reply Kenneth!
  
  Yes I have tryed Linux Mandrake 9.1 on my Mac 8600
  It installed ok,but for some reason I could not boot into it because
it told me that it could not find root,so I just gave up and went back
to YDL 3.0
  I even went as far as installing Mandrake 8.2 and then upgrading 8.2
to 9.1, once I did that I was back to square one again,not being able to
boot into it.
 I don't know if the Mandrake 9.1 iso's were corrupted when I downloaded
them or what,but I could not get it to boot with the kernel that came
with it.
