Existing users, 
I love YDL 3.0 on my old 3400c PowerBook, but was not the biggest fan of 4.1 and switched to Ubuntu for a while, but once Yellow Dog Linux 4.1 came out I switched back and was happy as a clam. YDL 5.0.1 really seems more modern and a much better release. Linux is different and can be hard, but please be sure to use the forum, the mailing lists, and the online help. There is even a book you can buy from Terra Soft Solution! Give it a full 2 weeks to try it out using the numerous support options available and you too will most likely fall in love with this free OS called Yellow Dog Linux.
Strong rumours say that most PowerPC Apple Macinstosh Computers will not be supported after Mac OS X 10.5, so this is the future for all PPC Mac owners.

I said most PowerPC Macs, meaning which would be the G3 iMacs, iBooks, PowerMacs, PowerBooks etc. I am pretty sure that the newest G5s will be supported through Mac OS X 10.7. Early G3s can only update to 10.3, supposedly most if not all of the rest of the G3s will see 10.4 as the last update and after 10.5 G4s are likely to stop all being supported too. This has all been on Low End Mac.Sunday, April 29 2007 @ 12:24 AM PDT

I don't believe that! G4 Powerbooks will not be able to use the 10.6 or10.7 platforms??? Absurd! Besides NO ONE knows what Apple is going to do in future years,there are a whole lot of G4 Powerbook users ot there (including me) who would NEVER trade their machines for a red hot mooing crashing MacbookPro or Macbook with INTEL inside to crumb things up further.Sunday, April 29 2007 @ 11:34 AM PDT

I am just saying rumors, and I, like you have no plans to switching to an Intel machine. I plan to stay with PPC and YDL makes that possible for the long run.Tuesday, May 01 2007 @ 11:13 PM PDT

To suggest that Apple is stopping support for the PPC Macs with the OS after X.5 is completely laughable.I run Tiger on several machines, including a Dual 500mhz G4. To suggest that the G5 will be dropped so soon is way beyond insane.
Tout Linux all you want, drop the FUD.
