Linux PPC/SuSe PPC can run on the 8500, it a 603 I think. The problem for them is money, I recommend a PPC 5400(180Mhz, 80Megs) running SuSE 7.0that I own for them, at the price of $150, PPC 5400 that the grandfather of the iMac. The guy paid $6000 for this Mac, and the guy doesn't want to even hear new hardware. So it doesn't matter I am talk to a wall.
For those that like use Linux on a PPC, SuSE is much easier on PPC side that LinuxPPC. LinuxPPC is a RedHat clone and I don't like the fact that how it does things but that me, plus I have used SuSE from the dark ages of Linux and have much better luck with it, than Red Hat. I've hear that Yellowdog is good but everytime I go Microcenter to pick up a copy of YD, it's been sold, and since I have been using SuSE at work on Intels from 5.3 until the lastest 7.3, that what I why use on PPC. I am dealing with just cheap people. So again thanks for all the comments and info. MkLinux was the 68K Verision of Linux that ran on Atari ST, Mac 68K, and Amiga or any computer with 68000 cpu. Thanks guys, Chuck Payne Magi Design and Support.
