Linux on an iMac DV 400
Experts,
I am fairly new to linux, but I am trying to get mandriva 2005 le running on an imac dv Model # M5521 and have been having a heck of a time with it. I can get it to install and boot fine every time until it wants to run x. When I finally did get X working, neither kde or gnome would load properly... my question is two-fold:
has anyone successfully got mandriva 2005 le running on this model? If so, please post your xorg.conf (I am not 100% sure of mine yet)
What is the best distro for this particular model in your opinion?
I am in the process of downloading debian since there seems to be more people asking questions about ppc debian online than any other ppc distro.
I am trying to convert 80 imacs of varying revisions to linux for the elementary school I work at. Any links to good resources for getting linux running on imac g3's would be greatly appreciated by these poor students who have to use mac os 8.6 *shudders*
thanks in advance

I am working on installing regular ubuntu on the 233, I am guessing it will work since kubuntu did, but I guess we will see.
For the iMac dv 400:
Mandriva :-(
YDL :-(
Kubuntu :-D
Ubunu... tbd
Thanks for your help.
