There has been some discussion about PPC on this list, and I was looking at the CentOS homepage, and it states that support for the PPC architecture is in progress.
Is there actually a V5 (CentOS) PPC download? I have been looking for it on the site without luck.
For example http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/isos/ only has i386 and x86_64.
I have an old G4 with dual processors I want to breath some life into.

Yeah, I was looking at that one.
I might just have to look to see what is out there out side of CentOS for PPC.
Thanks!

Ubuntu has a ppc version, probably best known for running on the Playstation 3, but old Macs should be even better.

---- probably not the answer you want but Fedora works well with PPC

Nothing (yet) available/downloadable .. Almost all 5.2 packages were built (afaik) for ppc but now with 5.3 just around the corner (and i386 and x86_64 arches being the first to be built/released) we'll have to wait a little bit longer. In the meantime, you can install CentOS 4.0beta (but no updates) or install Fedora or YDL. Please note that YDL is based on CentOS SRPMS (except the kernel and some other components for the cell sdk). I admit that my RPMforge PPC builder is still running FC6 but uses mock against RHEL4/RHEL5 to produce el4/el5 rpmforge rpms ;-) On my other G4 i've installed YDL 6, waiting for C5 to appear
