Piece originally published in LinuxWorld about setting up a tri-boot
environment on PowerPC:
http://www.intuitive.com/blog/ubuntu_linux_yellowdog_linux_and_mac_os_x_all_on_one_powerbook.html
[I] burned the single Ubuntu install CDROM, freely downloaded from the
ubuntulinux.com Web site. Gaining some coolness points, Ubuntu is also
available as a torrent file
The only hiccup encountered was that Ubuntu didn’t automatically see the
wireless Airport card built-in to my PowerBook. To solve this problem, I
posted a message to the Ubuntu user forums (www.ubuntuforums.com) and
within about 12 hours had a response: the Airport wireless cards aren’t
supported by Linux because Qualcomm hasn’t released those specs to the
open source community. What a drag!
One reason I like Ubuntu over Yellow Dog, though, is that Ubuntu defaults
to the slick GNOME graphical environment, while Yellow Dog uses KDE, an
alternative that’s attractive, but less compelling. Ubuntu also worked
just fine with my laptop, never glitched on the graphics, and the audio
worked every time.
