Decide this, and bring a copy of it because I doubt that anyone will have a PPC distro along without knowing ahead of time. I'd be happy to d/l whatever you like and burn a CD if this presents a problem for you. Let me know soon. The two PPC distros of which I am aware are: 1) Debian 2) Yellow Dog I'm not sure what the status is of Yellow Dog, but Debian is a mature and well-supported distribution. I've never used the PPC version of either, but I *do* have m68k Debian on two of my older Macs.

I own that very board and all is well... setting up and booting from the IDE raid (if that is your intent) is more of a BIOS matter than a Linux matter... the HPT370 controller chip on the KT-7 RAID is supported in 2.4 kernels, and may be as well in the latter 2.2 series.
