As per the discussion on the 5/5 show, what Linux are you running on your PPC and what are your thoughts and suggestions?
Again, I am running Yellowdog 3 and It's "ok". I have this problem with rpm dependancies and can't seem to get the X and framebuffer settings *just right*.
Also for some reason I *cannot* get a dvd to play. This is the error(s) I get:

WARNING[dvd_gui]: add_keybinding(): No such action: 'SaveScreenshot'
WARNING[dvd_gui]: add_keybinding(): No such action:
