A new Knoppix Live CD for PowerPC called Niktarix has been announced here:

Niktarix announcement

An early version is available as an ISO for download here:

Niktarix ISO

Niktarix has been built using kernel 2.6.11, binaries mostly from Debian Sarge, and KDE 3.3.2 as a desktop.

At the moment, the author has tested his work just on Genesi/PowerPC, i.o.w., not yet on a Macintosh or any other PPC platform.

Regards,

Walter.

There's a LiveCD project based on Debian that works with Enlightenment, targeting the PowerPC platform as well as i386 and AMD64:
Enlightenment LiveCD Project

The maintainer is looking for testers for the packages for an upcoming version of Elive:
New EFL packages for Elive 0.2

Elive EFL Repository, PowerPC-specific:

Knoppix on a MAC!! wow... only 2 weeks ago, the adds of Mac now running intel came out...

i am considering one of those mini macs... what ever they are called (i think mini macs)...

which brings me to the question... would the normal knoppix run on a mac that has an intel chip (man, i have been waiting to say that for years)
