IBM Power PC

Is the IBM Power PC computer open to other os?
Does it have open firm ware.
Apple seems to use its own firm ware to restrict other os.

Do you have to have an Apple OS installed first to run linux?
That is what I get from it.

Sorry, I should have said that I had an old world Mac. It is an 8500.
How about a Quadra?
Does it have this limitation?

Is the G3 Blue and White the begining of the new world ones?


I would like to get around some day and hook up a cable to the serial port. It outputs debug info with a terminal hooked up.
