supported ppc linux distros?

[shootingfreak101]

hey guys, I am thinking about buying an ibook g3 from someone in my local craigslist for $100. everything is working. specs 500 mhz g3 384 mb ram 10 gig hard drive. I will mainly use for internet browsing. I was wanting to load linux onto it as it tends to run much faster on older hardware than native OSs.

 

I know that ubuntu 6.06 and 6.10 support the ppc chips. Do you guys know of any other good linux distros that support the g3 ppc chip. I am looking for one with isn't to graphically basic but around the same graphic qualities of ubuntu 6.10 and older versions of open SUSE or dreamlinux.

 

Thanks..

Fedora core 8 had this feature PPC cpu. openSUSE 10.3 if i'm not wrong

SUSE and Fedora are "the" PPC distros. Also see:

I don't know, I'm fortunate enough to never have endured a PPC system. Of course, it depends on the video card and not the processor, but I'm not sure what kind of video cards the old G3 systems had.
