About four months ago, I installed Linux PPC on a Mac at work because I
needed a code development environment and I cut my teeth on C in UNIX back
when large hairdoos, legwarmers, and spandex were required attaire for the
female portion of the in-crowd.  After about one full week of work, I
managed to get it to boot successfully (it no longer does).

The whole experience was like learning fine woodworking by being handed two
acorns.
