I would like to turn an old Mac 7500 into a Zope server. LinuxPPC installs on the Mac PowerPC using the Red Hat 6.1 linux distribution. Does anyone have any experience with Zope with this type of set up?

http://jhh.cbmi.upmc.edu/ is running Zope with Linux PPC on a blue G3. Works just fine, including products like Squishdot and Zwiki.

Should I consider a different linux distribution than PPC?

Well, aside from Yellow Dog, are there really any other Linux distros suited to the PPC?

SuSE has just released a distribution for the PPC <http://www.suse.com/products/susesoft/PPC/index.html>. A CD is being distributed with the June issue of MacTech. Jim Harrison Univ. of Pittsburgh
