New documentation for installing on Apple’s most powerful
computers.

“LinuxPPC user Nathan Abramson recently wrote up documentation
for installing LinuxPPC on an AGP Power Macintosh G4 (a.k.a.
Sawtooth), including techniques for accelerating X, making sound
work, and the “yaboot” and BootX bootloaders….”

“LinuxPPC is compatible with both, although the AGP model has
some issues such as an unsupported Ethernet controller. This and
other problems will be resolved with time and further
development.”
