iMacLinux Screenshots

This page contains screenshots from PowerMacs running PowerPC Linux. The purpose of this page is to show off some of things you can do with PowerPC Linux on the desktop, and to give you ideas how to improve your PowerPC Linux desktop. This page is work in progress, I'm looking for your suggestions to improve it.

If you would like to contribute a screenshot to this page, please email , with your screenshot (in .jpg format only, please), along with your hardware configuration, your X11 version, and whatever software you see running in your screenshot.

Keep in mind, we can only post a limited amount of screenshots, and that they need to be appropiate for all age levels. ;) Old screenshots may be removed to make room for new ones.
