[QUOTE="Emrys, post: 7544, member: 2"] Was thinking the same thing :) You probably could boot off your iPod, but I don't like messing with mine. I like to keep it as what it's supposed to be. I would highly recommend getting a firewire drive setup. I just did this a couple weeks ago. I bought a firewire/usb ( for compatibility with PC's ) enclosure, [URL=http://www.adstech.com/products/DLX185/intro/DLX185intro.asp?pid=DLX185]THIS ONE[/URL] for $100 at Circuit City, and then I got a 160 GB HD for like $120. I just saw at Best Buy that they have 200 GB drives for like $140. That is a great deal. Back to Yellow Dog... I am gonna get it and install it on my iMac. Supposedly it is a port of the Red Hat 9.0 distro. I like the RH9 distro, so I would say you should be all set with using it. Supposedly YD smokes on G4's, so we should be in for a treat :) [/QUOTE]
