    I believe the mac you want to install on is an LC630. YDL doesn't claim to 
    install on anything before PowerPCs. 
    

Like I said, I don't know

    Besides, I'm one of these people that's sick and bloody tired of the
    'install linux on everything'. Let's face it. Linux on PPC looks very
    much like Linux on x86. What's the fucking point? 
    

This is a very good question actually, but i think It would be something
different.
I would gladly port NetBSD to it, if I thought it were possible.

    Oh, and just because I'm sick of reiterating it again and again. 
    No, I don't think Linux on PS2 is a good idea. It's a bad idea. 
    There are better solutions than crippling a really lovely architecture
    with a bloated OS>
    

Yes, but this is a  mac, not a PS2, and which sucks more? MacOS or
Linux?
Note, for fairness, MacOSX may not be brought into this discussion ;)
