SUSE's / Novell's site I missed it. Any indication of SLES on PPC ?

Hmmm. The actual state seems to be the following: SuSE Linux Professional 7.3 PPC (this is the last release) SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 for pSeries and iSeries I already checked the above two releases on an IBM RS/6000 7025-F50 Server (604e processor, CHRP architecture). I am currently working on the translation of my article issued in a hungarian Un*x related portal to publish on this mailing list. The above stuff work flawless on the machine. I think (and I am quite sure) that SLES9 has also PPC version supporting the G5 architecture which is not the case for the previous releases.

In case somebody wants to evaluate SLES 9 POWER, you can get a free download here (after registration): http://www.novell.com/products/linuxenterpriseserver/eval.html BTW, officially supported are only the Power4 and Power5 modells of IBMs pSeries and iSeries, plus the JS20 and the OpenPower 720. A lot of the Power3 modells work too, but are not officially supported. Apple G4 and G5 are not supported officially too, but you can give them a try, most of them should work (Insert first CD and press C while booting) ... Gruss vom Matze
