Yellow Dog Linux 2.1 for PowerPC
http://www.terrasoftsolutions.com/news/2001-10-17.shtml

New release with tons of awesome features.  This is currently the most
modern Linux distribution for the PowerPC platform.  It also has integrated
Mac-On-Linux, allowing you to run your existing MacOS 9 classic within a
Linux window at 99% performance if you have enough RAM.  Looks very good.

YDL 2.1 offers the following updates and improvements:
- YDL installer now supports individual package selection
- KDE 2.2.1
- XFree86 4.1.0
- 2.4.10 (default) and 2.2.19
- Mac-on-Linux 0.9.60 which automatically grabs the ROM image from your Mac
OS partition--reducing setup to a minimum. - Webmin web-based system
administration tool
- Mozilla 0.9.4
- Ext3 journaling file system
- Sound support on iBook 1 and iBook 2 (2001)
- Sleep support on full range of Apple portables (include all iBooks)
- Improved support for Apple Network Servers
- ... and support for NVidia GeForce 2 & ATI Radeon video cards (Apple
Display Connector not yet supported).
