| 14:03.56 | krankkatze | hi |
| 14:04.17 | krankkatze | I just got an old G4 and am pretty lost with it |
| 14:04.44 | pahartik | krankkatze: Very good |
| 14:04.49 | krankkatze | I've installed a gentoo on it but it took almost 12 hours to install gentoo |
| 14:04.52 | adb | donne le a moi |
| 14:05.12 | krankkatze | gnome* |
| 14:05.20 | krankkatze | so I'm not sure it is really the right distro :D |
| 14:05.28 | krankkatze | what should I consider? |
| 14:06.15 | krankkatze | I've read http://penguinppc.org/about/distributions.php but there's nothing that really turns me on |
| 14:08.09 | krankkatze | how about flash and linux ppc? |

| 14:10.22 | Bryanstein | krankkatze, 12 hours for gentoo...not really the best choice |
| 14:10.42 | Bryanstein | gnash will give you flash |
| 14:10.48 | krankkatze | ok |
| 14:11.03 | krankkatze | so I guess the best choice is debian? |
| 14:11.05 | krankkatze | maybe arch? |
| 14:11.07 | Bryanstein | You'd be much better off running Debian...less hassle |
| 14:11.21 | Bryanstein | lol no Debian...for ppc and arm..Debian all the way |
| 14:12.48 | Bryanstein | it'll take you about 15 minutes for the netinstall to be complete |
| 14:12.57 | Bryanstein | then add on all that you wish |
| 14:13.15 | krankkatze | yeah |
| 14:13.55 | simonrvn | aptitude is your friend ;) |
| 14:14.11 | krankkatze | well, I had been using debian for almost a year |
| 14:14.20 | krankkatze | I don't remember exactly why I stopped using it :D |
| 14:14.30 | krankkatze | I'm gonna have a try, thanks |
| 16:24.55 | Bor_Ed | good thing that this chan ain't biased towards any distro so comments are objective :D though I've ran debian on arm, mips, hp-pa, ppc and wintel and the familiar environment and package availablity can't be par'd by any other distro |
