Depending on what machine you've got, a PPC Linux version can be
annoying to get running.  Also you want to check what versions of MacOS
work with MOL first.  No point doing it if the apps you want aren't the
right version.

Right now I am running SuSE 7.1 PPC on an iBook2 and I love it, but I
wasn't a mac user before this machine.  When I want to play a MacOS game
or watch a DVD, I just reboot to MacOS.  I am happy with it, but it
might not be the situation you are looking for.
