I'm currently writing to you from a PowerPc 8600/300 w 604e chip....mkLinux is
pretty slow (especially when it comes to X and screen re-draws). I'd suggest
getting Linux-ppc (www.linuxppc.org) and installing that one if you are
serious.....The only thing I didn't like about it was the fact that they stat
in runlevel 5 not 3.....This was easily taken care of though.......Hope this
helps!
                            Sincerely,
                                                            Brian Gilman
