Yellowdog Linux vs. Power Mac G4/G5

[bruce woller]

Sorry about the confusion - I thought the 7400 was referring to the =20
tower model number not the CPU Id.  As in the Apple named  PowerMac =20
6100,7100,8100 which I see here =20
(http://www.macinfo.de/rechner/apple.html) were NuBus Macs (generation =20=

1 PPC).  Now I understand about the unintelligible naming convention.
