Congrats.  Welcome to the world of ppc64.

Unless you're wanting to get some sort of hack value out of having Linux
on an iMac G5, I would just suggest sticking with OS X.  For the very
same reasons that I would suggest sticking with Solaris on a Sun box.

That, and I find Mach-O binaries interesting to play with.  I guess I
have my own personal prejudices playing here, but still.  OS X is not a
bad beast once you get used to it.
