I have a Macintosh iBook and I was wondering if it would be possible that I could run Knoppix on it.
I just thought it would be possible since the Macintosh OS is close to the Linux OS.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

Hi there,
All the programs and the Linux kernel are compiled for x86 processor. The apples use a PowerPC processor. Knoppix does not support this hardware at this time. It would be possable to make a PowerPC knoppix, but that would take a very long time and unless someone volunteers, chances are it's not going to happen any time soon.
If not Knoppix, is there ANY LIVE CD (linux) for Macintosh of any type?
I have google'd it and struck out...
Thx,
Phredd
Here is a knoppix remaster for PPC

Isn't the Mac OS X based on BSD Linux?
