LinuxPPC Lite is reviewed on http://www.32bitsonline.com/ (do a search for
LinuxPPC). According to the article:

"Some of the features of LinuxPPC are:
* stable and fast - protected memory, preemptive multitasking, advanced
virtual memory
* supports SCSI and IDE drives
* shared library support
* floppy, sound, ethernet, and CD-ROM support
* XWindows and several window managers (including KDE, a desktop
environment similar to Windows or Mac OS)"

Also see http://www.LinuxPPC.com for more info. They recently revamped
their web site per the rollout of version 5.0 (debuted at Macworld).
