    People who just want a PPC machine to play around with for Linux will be a lot more likely to go for the Mac simply on price grounds.


    Ummm ... could anybody who bought a PPC machine to use Linux maybe please explain here his motivations?

    If I wanted Linux, I'd go x86. The hardware is cheaper and the Linux stuff that's not open source is far more likely to be compiled for x86 than for PPC. So for less money, I get access to the full range of software - why the hell go PPC? Fanless? That's all? :-?
