I installed it on my Power Macintosh 9500. I was young and couldn't properly evaluate, but I thought it was cool. This was when Copland was also cool. I also wanted to learn about Yellow Dog Linux, but couldn't find books on Linux at Borders. It booted to a prompt CLI and I didn't know what to do, so I nuked it. Imagine what tween nerds can access now. I'm jealous.
