Then I gave OpenDarwin a shot... then I killed the CRT. Long story short, I was impressed with Linux on PPC.
gentoo. i tried a few distros and some bsds, but i like gentoo the best. i did the stage3 (or maybe stage2), so i could avoid most of those long compiles on install. its the fastest (atleast feels the fastest) os ive run on my g3/350. quite faster than osx. actually, i liked opendarwin alot, except i couldn't get audio working on a purely free darwin system, which i was running at the time. i've never owned an x86 box, so i havent tried any distros on em yet. i imagine its a bit easier, with regards to a lot of badly ported code.
