LPPC was included on the CD that came w/ my PowerLogix G3/400 card. ATI
Rage Orion 128 Pro issues aside, it installed w/o any problems on my
PPC9500. However, trying to upgrade from that was a frustrating
experience. I agree 100-percent w/ Gordon's assessment of the LinuxPPC
list; lurk on it if you want to learn, but don't expect any answers
regarding install/newbie questions.
Which is why I moved to YDL. "Two thumbs up!" to Dan and crew.

The LinuxPPC user list is alive and well (I subscribe).
[snip]
The LinuxPPC people are, for the most part, pretty advanced Linux users
and most have compiled to 2.4.10/17 or so despite what linuxppc.org has
or hasn't released.

I did find that "newbie" type questions often went unaswered on the
LinuxPPC list. In particular, the subject "install" often mean
"ignored". Make no mistake, however, these guys are dedicated to having
Linux on the Mac and I don't see the failure of LinuxPPC stopping them.
