Dear All,

I have an older IBM RS6000 43P-100 (604e 200MHz) available, which I
would like to run LINUX. Please, could someone send me some information
on...

- which distributions support this platform?
- which might be the best one regarding availability, tools,
relyability?
- where I can get these ditributions on the internet?

If someone has experience in installing/running LINUX on such a machine,
please, help and info is appreciated ;o)

Kind Regards,
Joe

Ask IBM!

suse, mandrake, united linux i think
plus every distro which has support for ppc processor (mandrake, debian..)
But onlu the first ones are "supported" by ibm.

again, depends on what you like.


> - where I can get these ditributions on the internet?
debian.org and so on...
