I wonder if there is Linux kernel which support PowerPC??

Had it (mklinux) up and running on a PowerMac 8600 (604e / 200MHz) in
under an hour - that's including the time it took to track down the DHCP
client daemon for the cable modem.

However, we all know that getting it running on a PowerMac and getting
it running on a PowerPC are two totally different things.

	I did a quick install test yesterday of pre DR3 on a G3 266
SCSI and went well. I didn't had time to test it touroughly but I
could use all tool I wanted out from the box.

just out of curiosity, wouldn't the byte order by the same as a an alpha?
In which case you would need to use alpha binaries rather than pc?

Two things:

1) MkLinux:   http://www.mklinux.apple.com/

2) LinuxPPC:   http://www.linuxppc.org/

You can download MkLinux from The AusMac Archive in Sydney at
ftp://the.ausmac.net/pub/mac/MkLinux/ if you like - they have the DR3
version which was released last week.

Also I hear they are bringing LinuxPPC online soon...
