Just thought I take a stab here, anyone using Linux on a iMac G5,
believe me, I am TRYING.
I have tried using the followings, Ubuntu 6.06 LTS, Debian PPC 4.0
('Etch'), Fedora Core 6, and Gentoo.
At least with Gentoo, I get to the console mode, but it doesn't see my
hardware, LiveCD only, and will only boot with
'video=ofonly' in place.
The video used during installation is 800 by 600, thousands of color
setting.
My iMac G5 is third generation with iSight.
Thanks for your time,
Wayde
