 Cool thanks. I have been batteling gettin linuxPPC on my ANS 500. I
really hate how slow AIX is and need an alternative.
 About the farthest I have gotten on the install, is having it come on
screen asking where to get the files from then it freezes.
 It would be very cool to have all the necissary files (ie. correct
installer.coff, vmlinux, and the like) all in one place with instructions
on how to do what.. I am a neophyte when it comes to linux and most
related tasks, but hopefully this will kick my ass and make me learn.
