NEWBIE: PPC 7300/200 and linux

Post by Dan Thompso » Thu, 22 Feb 2001 04:01:51



Hi, I recently acquired from work a PPC 7300/200, and would like to install
a linux distribution on it and set it up as a server to share MY broadband
connection.  The main problem is I have absolutely no idea how to even start
to do this as I have only ever glanced at linux and know nothing about it,
the same goes for MAC's aswell.

I was hoping someone here would be able to offer some good advice ( and a
guide) as how to go about setting this up.

I only have a PC as my other machine, and can burn a cd if needed (on a PC
only)

I have heard about Yellow dog linux, and LinuxPPC, but don't really know
where to start or which is best to use for my requirements

I would be greatfull if anyone could give me some info and help

Cheers
D.
