I believe the Classic PPC port of Linux is called APUS. Not sure where to find it though. I'm sure it's around on the web somewhere, and if not, I think it was distributed on some Amiga Format or CU Amiga CDs.

@Matt

I think you need to change your sig! :-)

Hunt around for APUS, I should still ahve it on one of my miggy HDs... I'll have a look, if it is, I'll upload it.

-Edit-

You're in luck, I've put it into a 3meg zip file, I'll pop it on line later.

@framiga:

Yes, that's the one for BlizzardPPC/CyberstormPPC (Amiga Power Up Systems).

It runs pretty much every LinuxPPC software out there - after all, it's just a modified kernel (hacked to support Classic Amiga Hardware) and a standard PPC Linux distribution.

It doesn't run MacOnLinux though...
