MOL - Mac on LInux

         I have MOL running in X on my PB 3400c which is running YDL 3.0.1. 
The video config failed miserably! After I changed the molrc files, MOL 
loaded great. Still have not got it to work on console video yet without it 
locking up the machine.

         I too am wondering which Linux is best for PPC. I have too many 
unresolved issues with my YDL 3.0.1 install.
