Please tell me if this post does not belong here. (I am new to slashdot and I am a newbie in the Linux world, having dealt mostly with DOS and MAC). My first experience with booting my own Linux box was PPCLINUX on a PowerMac6500/250 (its on the hardware compatibility list). First, the Xwindows installer program did not work. So I went back and used the red hat like installer which seemed to work fine. It ran like a charm for a couple of days and then things got ugly. My system kept locking up while I was using the xwindows interface. I finally just reformatted the hard drive and loaded Mac OS 8.6 and the computer just sits there looking pretty. I only use it to scan pictures and edit them with photoshop. I really wish PPClinux had worked. Do you have any experience with system crashes while runnin PPClinux.
