Hey all, sorry for the off-topic post, but its sorta Mac programming
related:

what is the best distribution of Linux to install on a G5 box? I need to
do some Linux-related programming and I've got a second HD with 100GB
reserved for installing a Linux.



Also, is there a Parallels-like solution for G5s to run Linux in a
process within MacOS X .4.x?

Thanks.

I started off with Yellow Dog but switched to OpenSUSE, which seems to
work better, for me at least.

Not that I'm aware of - you'll need to re-boot to switch between OS X
and Linux.
