    Linux and Apples

    Can Macs run Linux on their comps? I've always wondered that.

    Sure... OSX is a based off of BSD, I believe. However that isn't linux... its more "unixish"?

    But, PowerPCs can run linux.

    Quitmzilla is a firefox extension that gives you stats on how long you have quit smoking, how much money you\'ve saved, how much you haven\'t smoked and recent milestones. Very helpful for people who quit smoking and used to smoke at their computers... Helps out with the urges.

    Yellow Dog linux is the most common or popular version of PPC linux I've seen on various macs (damned if the thing won't install on my mac clone --GRRRRRRRRR!). Anyways, there are other supported linuxes and you can find them at Linux ISO
