Tri-booting Ubuntu Linux, Yellowdog Linux and Mac OS X, all on one PowerBook?

Here’s a great article written by Dave Taylor, describing how to install linux and Mac OS X on a PowerBook.

If you want to learn more about the world of Linux you can’t go wrong with either of these two Linux operating systems for Macintosh.

    Well you could do 2 distros of Linux, but not Yellow Dog Linux, it is PPC only. Ubuntu and Fedora would be good choices however, and I would recommend keeping it on, as they are fun to play with.
