Review: Mandrake PPC 8.2

The positive adventure went on, once Linux had fully booted up and launched

modem worked fine and I was ready to browse the web. Also advanced features
like hardware 3D acceleration and sleep support worked out of the box.

All in all, I think Mandrake has done it, the first PPC distribution that
installed perfectly and automagically on my iBook. I didn't have to manually
correct one single setting. And I think that's quite amazing, as it
eventually makes a Linux install as effortless as a MacOS or Windows
