Linux On Macs, Experiences? Options

[lepetitmartien]

I've got a G5 and a BW G3, does someone has tried linux installs on one of them, I'd be interested to give it a go later this year. I'm not very up to date on the mac distro available so any input is welcome. (and I'm too busy to surf like a mad on the subject)

As a spammer just upped the thread, I'm having a go for some months with a Linux flavor Fedora on the macbook as a double boot. Once installed it works.Though I'm still trying to understand the exact twist to force the mac to understand that it can boot on the linux partition.

Why fedora? Well, it's maintained over all the macs I have. And the how-to to install are understandable, the ones for Ubuntu are confusing IMHO.

Right now I'm trying to install Fedora 13, but it doesn't want to boot and I'm still investigating, it may be something really stupid like the size of the /boot partition… It'd be way easier with a single partition, but as I'm playing with it and doing my geek, I want to understand

I'll get back once it works, there's a few things to tune I've never seen elsewhere, and it'd be good to see them online.
